A tip of the hat to my roommate for finding this, the Atari 2600 ET game landfill has just been found.

I don't think the game was any worse than Superman or Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was basically a sure bet that anything for the Atari adapted from an existing source would be crap.

Erikson has a point. I remember when this game came out. A friend of mine (then) had gotten a copy and we played it...once. Total garbage. But then, I lived in an era when pinball was still king, Nintendo was just getting started and Coleco was fading fast.
