Just 25 years after E.T. The Extra Terrestrial had kids entranced in cinemas, the little green cross-dresser is coming to a mobile phone near you.

Ojom, makers of games for mobile phones, has announced E.T. the game, an old skool arcade-style adventure where you get to re-enact most of the movie’s keys scenes through 42 mini-games.

The overall goal is to collect all the bits needed to build a machine for him to call home. On the way though, you too will have to lure the frightened alien into the house using sweets, dress him up as a lady, hide him among Gerti’s teddies and escape the Men In Black on your trusty BMX.

Graphically, it’s nothing to phone home about [sorry] but it’s colourful and bound to be so much more entertaining than Snake III and Canal Control.-Martin Lynch
