There's been a lot of talk recently about this topic. So Atari rushed through their E.T. game back in the 80's, and strangely - with only 5 weeks development time - it was appalling. Atari were left with millions of cartridges so rumour was they dumped them in a landfill. | ||||
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

i remember playing this game at a friend's house at a very young age and remember him warning me how bad it sucked but i still wanted to play it....and it was very frustrating and a waste of time. |

I'd heard the story of the Lost Atari Graveyard for years...never knew that it was considered a "rumor", I always knew it to be "true". Interesting the resting place has been found. |
Quick! Get it on Steam Early Access! |
I owned this game for my atari 2600 back in the day and I can tell you they couldn't have buried those copies deep enough. |
