Atari Myth is Finally Confirmed After Hundreds of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Found Buried

Date:

Atari myth confirmed in a new documentary filmed this Saturday.

XBOX Studios and Fuel Entertainment’s latest documentary has gained a lot of attention this weekend after hundreds of buried cartridges of Atari’s 1982 video game, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial video game.

According to Deadline, the video game was found in a dumpsite in Alamorgordo, New Mexico.

The archaeological discovery confirmed a long-held legend in the gaming world that Atari had buried millions of unsold units of what’s believed to be one of the worst games ever made when it tanked over 30 years ago.

It was rumored that producers wanted to capitalize off of the hit movie that the video game was rushed into production.

The dig was filmed for a new documentary by Zak Penn from X-Men: The Last Stand and is produced by Simon Chenn an Oscar-winning documentary producer (Man on Wire).

Wonder how bad the game was? Check out a clip of the video game below:
