johnhexcarter:adu101:artfulhermes:coelasquid:derples:raisehelia:cavebae:estpolis:mrdappersden:They did it, they fucking did it.holyfducjkHISTORYholy shit!can someone explain this to meThirty years ago a legendary ET game came to fruition, so awful that as the tale told, all unsold copies of it were buried in a pit in New Mexico. A documentary film crew has just unearthed the stash, proving the legend true.YOU GUYS THEY FOUND THE ET LANDFILL!The story of the landfill, is that Atari actually made more cartridges of this game than there were Atari consoles in existence. (Dumb idea to begin with.) Because the movie was such a success they automatically assumed this game would sell well too.Now You can look up the full story yourselves, but this game is infamous for being /so terrible/ that it nearly single-handedly destroyed gaming as an entertainment medium in its entirety. Many players and game companies nearly thew in the towel on games /as an industry/ because this game flopped so hard. Its called the Video Game Crash of 1983. Look it up.I’ve been laughing and crying about this all dayNerd historyI PLAYED this game.It was SO FUCKING TERRIBLE. Just … AWFUL. -- source link
