thinking about all this, its kinda surprising that the 20th release of ET wasnt a big hit. yeah, a lot of us were mad at the walkie-talkies but those did not have near the notoriety of the SE changes.
I don't recall if it had near the promotion of SW, but im sure it was equal to Lion King. The economy in 2002 was crap, but so is this economy.

maybe a lot of people were still bitter about the crap atari game. BWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA
