E.T. and the Cosmic Garden is a real-time adventure game for your Game Boy Color. Travel to six planets populated by the most exotic, weird, and wild plants in the galaxy. Gather these rare and wonderful plants for the spaceship's greenhouse and fulfill E.T.'s original mission by replanting and restoring the Cosmic Garden. Growing a healthy garden requires E.T. and his assistants, Space Bee and Space Slug, to maintain proper amounts of food, water, and light, and to protect these special species from a host of intergalactic pests, including space beetles, fungus, and harmful celestial events, such as a prolonged eclipse. But don't worry--E.T. can use his special telekinesis powers to save the day. This creative and nonviolent strategy adventure challenges players with 12 levels and seven environments. You can create more than 60 plants, each with unique personalities and abilities--they sing, jump, generate electricity, and more. Beat the game and you'll unlock the never-ending Prize Garden.

Your mission is to construct a communicator so that E.T. can phone home. And just like Elliott and his friends in the movie, you'll have your work cut out for you. In this release for Game Boy Color, you must search 60 environments for all the components needed to build the transmitter. All the while, you have to evade capture by government agents and avoid the clever traps they've set for you. You can alternate playing as the strategic-minded Elliott or as E.T., whose extraordinary powers, including levitation, can help you out of the many tricky situations you'll confront. This single-player game features three levels of difficulty and three modes of gameplay: exploration, quest, and encounter. Six large maps with 10 environments in each extend playability, as do 45 challenging miniquests that unlock hidden items you can trade later.

: Anyone who's ever seen Warner Bros.' Marvin in action (usually against Daffy Duck in some sort of intergalactic battle) knows just how much fun this guy can be with his creative weaponry and never-say-die spirit. Well, this cool video game for the GBC is the first-ever interactive game that actually lets you play as the beloved Martian rather than fight against him, and the results are hilarious. It's actually a sequel to another Marvin-themed adventure for the GBC, called LOONEY TOONS COLLECTOR: Alert!, and the gameplay is similar; you'll help Marvin solve numerous puzzles and overcome all sorts of obstacles throughout the game's ten-plus levels of side-scrolling action. The object is to collect all of the necessary items before the other Warner Bros. gang catches you, and evading them won't exactly be a stroll in the park.

The 2002 rerelease of E.T., which marks 20 years since the film's 1982 debut, includes never before seen footage, enhanced visual effects, and a new remastered soundtrack. E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL is Steven Spielberg's warmhearted classic delight for both children and adults. It tells the story of an alien creature, E.T., mistakenly left behind on Earth. When a young boy, Elliott (Henry Thomas), finds E.T. and hides him in his home, both their worlds are changed forever. E.T. teaches Elliott and his two siblings (Drew Barrymore and Robert MacNaughton), whose parents have recently separated, about caring and love while the children protect E.T. from the malevolent world of grown-ups. Elliott and E.T. become so close that they share emotions; as E.T. becomes ill, so does Elliott. The children end up going on a fabulous adventure trying to help E.T. find a way back to his home planet. The movie was originally going to be based on a story idea by director John Sayles, but after he removed himsel...

Big-screen shenanigans from the Spice Girls, who cavort harmlessly in backstage vignettes whilst changing costumes, mugging in the kitschy environs of their Union Jack tour bus (piloted by no less significant a personage than Meat Loaf), and evading a bothersome paparazzo. Trashy, guilty fun, littered with celebrity cameos.
