I wish I could say that I remember playing the Atari game E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial but sadly I was saved from that gem. My game collection was very limited. Only those lucky game connoisseurs got a taste of what E.T. had to offer the Atari console. The very same game that just about broke Atari from the inside due to its epic failure. So bad in fact that Atari trucked what was left of their E.T. inventory and buried them in the New Mexico desert.
Almost like
Who Killed The Electric Car, but with video games. The below clip is a trailer for Zak Penn's documentary
Atari: Game Over that tells the story from the release of the movie, to the creation of the game and then to the burial. As far as a documentary, this is something that looks really interesting. Check it out!
