Worst Game in History? 

 I think this statement is factually wrong. Setting aside the highly dubious issue that a "bad" name makes a "bad" game, is there anything to back up the claim that it was received badly in the U.S.? I suppose it could be (remotely) possible that the game was received badly in the U.S., but we need a citation to prove it. I personally remember the game being somewhat enjoyable, if a little difficult. It seemed popular enough to me. 

 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (video game) would have a greater claim to the worst video game in history, in my opinion. The wikipedia article on the E.T. game even has a citation to back the "worst game in history" claim up.
