Fun Fact #4 - E.T. the Video Game was so bad, unsold copies were buried in a landfill
The E.T. video game was so horrendous that it led to thousands of unsold cartridges being buried in a New Mexico landfill. The game was rushed to market in just five weeks to coincide with the movie's release. Spoiler: it didn't go well. E.T. the Video Game

I remember playing when I was kid. It was very bad. I thought what a waste of money and money wasnt easy to get back then for kids as it is now.

Atari 2600 was my first gaming experience. Atari tried to do things that didn't play very well with the limitations on the 2600. Adventure was done much better.

They also made a whole documentary about the digging for the games, called "Atari: Game Over" (2014): www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyKwgvoxfms
