The Atari Video Game Burial
The\xa0Atari video game burial\xa0was a mass burial of unsold\xa0video game cartridges, consoles, and computers in a\xa0New Mexico\xa0landfill\xa0site, undertaken by American\xa0video game\xa0and\xa0home computer\xa0company\xa0Atari, Inc.\xa0in 1983. Up until 2014, the goods buried were rumored to be unsold copies of\xa0E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, one of the\xa0biggest commercial failures in video gaming\xa0and often cited as one of the\xa0worst video games ever released, along with the\xa0Atari 2600\xa0port\xa0of\xa0Pac-Man, which was commercially successful but critically maligned.
