Entertaining.I always thought Nintendo ended Atari.

This is An excellent doc that crams so much into it’s short running time(A little over and Hour).Who would have thought that I would be held in suspense so much,waiting for a Digger to go through a landfill in order to find out if the Legend was true about Atari Burying Millions of E.T. Cartridges in the Desert back in the early 80’s after Nightmarishly bad sales. Whether they find what they’re looking for or not,I will not reveal but this is Excellent.

Quite good. But far too much dirt and excavation for my taste. I don’t even know how much background about the company from this. It was interesting that they were looking for buried treasure, but I was hoping for a documentary on the company.

Haha, I can’t believe they actually made a documentary about an Atari video game! I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I read the description. With that said, as a big video game fan, I’m surprised how little I actually knew about Atari. Honestly all I can remember is that my first introduction to Atari was with my cousin Carrie and playing a game that involves shooting letters that scroll across the screen. I wouldn’t even remember the name of this game, but it was on this day (in like 1985) that I realized how addicting video games were. I was too young to understand the decline of Atari and the impact of Nintendo. All I cared about was playing the games and having fun. Some things never change!Anyway this documentary is about a supposed burial of millions of copies of Superman for the Nintendo 64. Oops, I mean E.T. for the Atari. I guess I should be ashamed of myself since I had NO knowledge of this entire incident, so this documentary sort of caught me by complete surprise. Then again I spent most of my late 80’s/early 90’s video game phase subscribing to Nintendo who’d never mention this. I knew E.T. was considered a bad game, but I can honestly say I don’t know a single person who’s actually played the game. Anyway this documentary jumps around from bringing in digging machines out in New Mexico where supposedly millions of copies of E.T. are buried underground, to the big name programmers and creators that worked at Atari and their life stories.Hard to.

A straightforward, professionally researched and shot documentary about the demise of Atari (as we knew it). The excavation and the like-minded gamers are the highlights, but there’s a good bit of interview, especially with the creator of E.T. If you’ve clicked on this, then you want it. Recommended.

This is a really interesting filmok half of it isThe recent landfill footage stuff is pretty much filler and more a gimmickIt was smart PR by Microsoft who helped finance the digIt’s somewhat interesting but, Not so much….. (It gets old and drawn out)The thing that makes this a real must see is the Biography of ATARImostly Nolan Bushnell (Co-Founder, Atari)Howard Scott Warshaw (Game Engineer, Atari Inc)The story of Atari and these men is just fascinating,engaging and also heartbreakingThey were true pioneers in technology that in many ways never got the full credit they deserveIf it wasn’t for Atari there would have never been a apple or micosoft etcThe only negative is It’s a very short 66min. the time goes by super quickIt’s a must see Doc if you are a documentary fan, a video game fan, or you just grew up in the 1980’sThe film tries to ask if the E.T. Atari 2600 Game was the worst ever??? Did it help put Atari down in the hardware business ???After the film i was torn i felt so bad for Howard Scott Warshaw he seems to be this really cool throw-back hippie type guy who was smart and got into the gaming industry cause he understood it! and the profession he loved broke him mentally!For the longest times gamers have pointed the finger at E.T. as the template as "The Worst" when looking at it nowIt’s nowhere near the worst game ever made! The gaming crash of the early 1980’s can’t be blamed solely on one man or his workThere were plenty of hands in the cookie jar.

Solving a mystery. Dispelling a myth. Finding the truth. A great film to watch for any fan of early video games from the ‘70s and ‘80s. Perfect companion to Ready Player One.
R. Davis –
MUST WATCH FOR 80S GAMERS

This is a great documentary, and does much to redeem Howard Warshaw. I love when they revisit the Atari HQ. I also love the interviews and commentary by both Nolan and Manny Gerrard.I always felt that Ray Kassar and Steve Ross should have received 90% of the blame for the E.T. debacle, and Howard did the best possible job in the time he had to make the game.
