In the early eighties, Steven Spielberg brought to life a
pop culture phenomenon with a few simple ingredients...namely, a Speak &
Spell, a saw blade, some Reese's Pieces, and a yearning for home. However, if
you blend a bit of Roll & Move into the mix, you get the E.T. board game by
Parker Brothers. This blockbuster tie-in pits players against each-other in an
epic duel of helpfulness as they compete to assist E.T. in building his
communicator device and fleeing Earth's horrible, smog-filled atmosphere. It's
a co-petitive title which requires significant blind-luck skills, and a dash of
ESP...but does the experience take us to the sky on its magic bike, or does it
deserve to be buried in the desert? Roger Brasslett joins us to investigate!
