Absolutely. If anyone has never played E.T for the Atari, you're really, really missing out.
And if you have - hopefully you'll check out the Angry Video Game Nerd Movie that he's working on. I donated a few times to it, and I'm hoping he does well. It's based on the ET game.
Speaking of the E.T. game I know a really good reviewer on YouTube named Aqualung. If you're looking for a reviewer to get a fair overlook of a game---he's a good one. Anyway the game E.T. really isn't that bad of game I mean sure it's no gem but once you learn what to, what the icons on top of the screen mean and how to use them. Then the game is playable. It's simple find the phone to call ET's ship, collect reeses pieces for bonus points,health and another piece of the phone from Elliot, avoid the FBI guys (or set the game easy) at all cost, watch where you step and find the landing zone and beat the game. If I had a proper tv and an Atari I'd probably give ET a go since I know what to do now thanks to watching videos on YT on how to play it.
