Fan Builds Atari 2600's E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Out Of Legos
Most of the video game-inspired Lego sets highlighted on Game Informer's website consist of thousands of pieces. This isn't the case with famed brick builder Gilcelio's Lego E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. This set consists of just 39 pieces, yet captures every little detail from the game, including the bulge between E.T.'s legs. I played this game for hours, and never noticed it was there. Young Reiner clearly didn't see the world in the way old Reiner does now.
Gilcelio's photo gallery is loaded with great pieces, including a few others based on classic games (like the Atari 2600 collection below). Check them out and leave him a comment!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
