gigapig Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 I know a lot of you know about this already but may have forgotten about it. This is the Microsoft movie about Atari of course and the excavation of those cartridges. Lets us know what you thought about it. http://video.xbox.com/movie/atari-game-over/4B8575C6-BD05-48E8-92C9-C61BA57E8025
gigapig Posted December 8, 2014 Author Posted December 8, 2014 I watched it yesterday and enjoyed it, some good old footage.
HazzardActual Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Im pretty sure the AVGN movie inspired those dudes to go find the dump. They found em like 2 weeks before the movie launched
keltoigael Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Just finished watching it. Really good documentary. It's really sad that it ruined How-Weird's career. Yars is easily my favorite Atari 2600 game. He deserves accolades for all the great things he brought to video game history. ET is not the worst game of all time, its just the myth around it. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGAi8dJWR4bpg1oRfItcPCw

I'm sure that was all made up to add a bit of drama to the film. Most of us know it was over saturation, to many similar consoles, to many terrible games much worse than ET. I showed the wife Custer's Revenge after the film, she wasn't best pleased.

Styphelus Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 "ET is not the worst game of all time" Nope, not by a long shot. My wife actually loved it when she was a kid.

I got it for Xmas as a kid, I thought it was a good game. Hard but to me it was more about exploring, which not a lot of games offered at the time. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGAi8dJWR4bpg1oRfItcPCw
