The Angry Video Game Nerd: Season 8

Taken from Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie, this episode focuses on the Nerd's review of one of Atari's worst video games they ever made – E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600.

In the movie, the game was represented by specially-made animation of the game, due to a lack of licensing rights to the original version.
