Sure it wasn't the greatest game in the world but it's not some abomination that people seem to think it is. After watching AVGN that game looks like a godsend compared to some of the game's he played. ET looks a lot better than games like Friday The 13th or that Halloween game which are both Atari games. If anything a group of people were bitching about having no idea what they were doing. And that turned into a band wagon of people jumping on a hate train. 

that Indiana Jones shit is the absolute worse hands down (Metroid Other M is a verry close second though)

I highly, HIGHLY doubt Other M is worse than the crap of the older consoles

It almost killed the video game industry in the early 80s and thousands of copies of the game were buried in the desert.

There are some games made in the modern day that should have gotten the desert treatment, like Ride to Hell and Rambo.
