Play E.T. The Extra Terrestrial - Escape from Planet Earth (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Nl) Online

I picked up E.T. The Extra Terrestrial - Escape from Planet Earth for the Game Boy Color back in 2001. It was published by NewKidCo, one of those companies that put out a lot of licensed games around that time. The Game Boy Color was still going strong, and this was just one of many movie tie-ins you'd see on the platform; not a standout, but part of the landscape.

You control E.T. himself, moving screen by screen across varied environments like forests and laboratories. Your goal is to find the pieces of his interplanetary telephone so he can call home. You spend a lot of time searching for items, avoiding scientists and other hazards, and solving simple environmental puzzles. The pacing is slow, and the controls can feel a bit slippery, which adds to the challenge. It captures some of the movie's lonely, exploratory mood, even with its limitations.
