Atari: Game Over

The title of this documentary is a bit misleading since it focuses on the infamous E.T. video game and an excavation to find out whether the legend of burying millions of E.T. cartridges in a landfill is true. I expected it to tell the story of Atari and it's definitely there, but there's a lot more focus on E.T. than I expected.

Anyway, it's an interesting look on Atari - how it started, its success and its demise. It shows how E.T. the video game was born, what made it be called "the worst video game ever" and whether it's justified or not. There are interviews with the key people at Atari and it's both interesting and fun to watch while also giving a great sense of nostalgia.
