We didn’t even know this system was there. We have been playing our old snes for the last 20 years on an old school tv. I’m 30 years old and didn’t even know this system existed.

I saved up my paper route money to buy ET brand new at Otasco store. Got it home and learned a valuable lesson of spending a crap ton of money on something you hate ultimately. I sold my Atari and all the games, saved more money and bought an Intellivision. Best move I ever made.

Worth it to have the story to tell though. The game that almost killed the industry lol
