New Game Pokes Fun at Atari Burying ET in Landfill

Way back in 1983, over four decades ago now, Atari was in a bind. They mistakenly bet on the future of the gaming market in the worst way possible. They produced too many games for their console; some estimate they produced MORE copies of Pac-Man than they had sold units of the console itself. Talk about a bad bet. The rumor was proven true in 2014 when crews dug up the long-buried games. Approximately 700,000 total cartridges were buried including E.T. Now you can bury them again in Burying E.T. for the Atari 2600, playable in a browser or if you have the means, on your Atari 2600 console.
