Re: Spielberg Talks about ET for the Atari 2600
From Wikipedia:
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a video game that is based on the film of the same name developed by Howard Scott Warshaw and released by Atari Inc. for the Atari 2600 video game system in 1982. The goal of the game is to fall into holes in order to find phone pieces to assemble so that E.T. can return home. With few exceptions, critics and gamers alike feel that it was a poorly produced and rushed game that Atari thought would sell purely based on brand loyalty to the names of Atari and E.T.
E.T. is seen as marking the beginning of Atari's downfall and is often viewed as one of the biggest commercial failures in video gaming history, as well as the worst video game ever made. E.T. was a contributing factor to Atari's massive financial losses during 1983 and 1984, and a glut of unsold copies of the game helped contribute to the video game crash of 1983. As a result of overproduction, hundreds of thousands of unsold cartridges were reportedly buried in a New Mexican landfill.
