Music Video about the Buried E.T. Atari Cartidges
If you know about the story of the Millions of Atari 2600 cartriges that are buried under a New Mexico desert, you’ve got to check out this music
video.
The story goes like this, Atari got the rights to create a video game based on E.T.
and they wanted the game out in time for christmas. They had to rush to get the game
done and the end result was terrible Barbie fairytopia magic of the rainbow download. Nearly every game that was purchased was returned
to the store. And they actually manufactured more cartridges than consoles that had
ever been sold, they hoped the game would help sell systems.
They ended up with millions of cartridges that they couldn’t get rid of. This music
video is the story of guys that go looking for the cartridges.
