Ian Riccaboni –
Really enjoyed this documentary. For those not familiar with the rise and fall of Atari, this documentary is a great start into that piece of video game history. The documentary is fun tale of what happened to the discarded E.T. cartridges but also explores Howard Scott Warshaw’s relationship with developing the game. Warshaw is a captivating subject and I wish they would have explored his path a bit more so, particularly when it came to Warshaw appearing at the dig.

I’m not a gamester, but this documentary is delightful. A dig worth watching.
R. Overall –
Not for everyone, but a good recap of Atari’s brief dominance in computer games. Gave it to my IT son for background.

If you’re around the age group that grew up with Atari then you will like this movie.

A pretty good overview of why it was that Atari tanked, and how one developer/programmer was unfairly blamed for its demise. The whole "tens of thousands of copies of Atari’s ET game cartridges are buried in a town’s dump" story turns out to be more truth than urban legend. The film-makers set out to locate and excavate the burial site; along the way, they bring in one or two of celebrities (Ernest Cline of "Ready Player One" fame and George RR Martin, to name just two) and interview some of the key players of the Atari story. This is a fascinating look at how one of the world’s most profitable companies, which was also one of Silicon Valley’s first major success stories, managed to implode, a victim of its own success. From a landfill in New Mexico to the original offices of Atari, this is a fun and fascinating look into one of the video games industry’s quirkier stories. Recommended.

I like how both the programmer (Howard Scott Warshaw) and novelist (Ernest Cline), each head their individual ways to Alamogordo, New Mexico, to witness the excavation of the Atari 2600 E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial game cartridge.

I watched it on retrolio Prime Video and I enjoyed the documentary so much that I had to order it in Blu-ray. I loved the description they do of the industry in those early year and the interviews with the different people. Just the appearances of Howard Scott Warsaw on its own are gems and worth the purchase. If you are an Atari fan, this is a must-see.Does anybody know the name of the main theme song? It is ridiculously catchy!I just found it and it is an instrumental version of Puzzle Pieces of Saint Motel.

A very well made and entertaining look at one of the great urban myths of video gaming. It is also a reminder to me about how fortunate we are that Nolan Bushnell, Howard Warshaw, David Crane, and so many other innovators from what is arguably the golden age of gaming are still with us. I hope that someone somewhere is collecting their first hand accounts and preserving them for future generations. This film is a very good start and will help dispel the myth that the 2600 "E.T." game is one of the worst video games of all time…it isn’t!
