The Xbox Originals documentary that chronicles the fall of the Atari Corporation through the lens of one of the biggest mysteries of all time, dubbed “The Great Video Game Burial of 1983.” Rumor claims that millions of returned and unsold E.T. cartridges were buried in the desert, but what really happened there?
User Reviews
Very well done documentary about basically the rise and fall of Atari
Not sure there is enough material to turn this into a documentary, but it’s an interesting story
An interesting documentary about something that I didn’t know
One of my favorites documentaries about the rise and fall of Atari
Its a solid documentary on Atari's highs and lows. However, I honestly thought the leaning on the ET landfill myth a bit much at times
It was fun to learn about Atari, but nothing to write home about.
Great documentary, especially for Atari fans, nostalgic and fun.
This is the thing we ashamed all been wateing for the discovery of E.T. also it a great doc on the downfall of Atari
I love video game documentaries and this one is no exception.
A beautifully made documentary detailing an obscure topic and what the event meant for the industry as a whole. Worth a watch.
