MOM, IM HOME!" I screamed. I knew we were going to a garage sale, so I just went inside the car. A few minutes later, my mom got inside the car. I'm Jake, by the way. Im a sophmore currently attending Otay Ranch High School in San Diego, California. Im here to share an experience with a certain cartridge of E.T, for the Atari 500. I know, the game is horrible, but back with the story. My mom pulled up at a cabin in the middle of nowhere. The house seemed deserted, tons of spiderwebs and covered all over with bugs. I asked my mom why she pulled up here, no reply. She asked me to knock. The house was terrifying to me, so gathering all my courage, I knocked. After a few minutes, the door creeked open. A innocent looking old lady opened the door. "This can't be that bad", I mumbled under my breath. She asked if we were here for the garage sale, my mom nodded. There was alot of junk outside, but what caught my eye was a box labeled "GAMES". I ran over to the box in which I saw a copy of E.T for the Atari 2600. I knew the game was really bad, but I had an Atari 2600 and knew that having of E.T was somewhat rare, so I asked the lady how much it would cost. She saw my NES controller iPhone case, so she instantly assumed I was a gamer. She said I can take it for free, I couldnt thank her enough. We got a few more things before we left. But as we were leaving, she grinned. It was a terrifying grin that still haunts me to this day. When I got home, I inserted the cartridge into my Atari 2600. Instantly, I knew something was wrong. The start screen had the alien with hyper-realistic eyes and he was black instead of green. I was scared out of my mind, but I thought something was just wrong with the game, not knowing the terrible fate that awaited...
