On June 27, 1982, Warshaw received a phone call from then-Atari CEO, Ray Kassar. Warshaw had just finished developing the Raiders of the Lost Ark video game, a critically-acclaimed title for the Atari 2600 that was also a financial success for the company. Kassar told him director Steven Spielberg specifically requested that he make the E.T. video game to accompany the movie of the same name. The deadline? Sept. 1 — exactly five weeks from the day of the phone call.
Looks like I'm a little off on my facts.
Five weeks, damn.
Damn... five weeks is nothing! I can't even finish a 5000 piece puzzle in 5 weeks.
