Atari started the Video game crash of 1983.

ET and Pac-man of the Atari 2600 happen to be the worst video games on demand, with ET as the "second worst" video game.

Now you can see, Ghost was probably trolling, who can like ET the video game?

This is the hilarious part: Customers wanted a full refund.

Now you see, Atari was a "terrible," video game company.

There's a rumor that since ET didn't sell many copies, they buried the rest or something like that.

No, they had to dump all the cartridges in a landfill at Mexico, millions of them were sold or refunded. Atari had claimed that they wanted to get ready for Atari 5200 or something like that, but that is denied by a worker. After the Atari Jaguar, very few units have been sold (ET aftermath?). Atari had to stop at the Jaguar II, they had to cancel because it could not be done.

If it wasn't for Atari, our game graphics would still look like that of the original Xbox/Dreamcast. After all, Atari was the first company to make a 64 bit console.

@ Atari fanboys, Why can't you face the facts? Atari was the only company in the 1980s to receive a huge amount of negative comments about the following: Custer's Revenge, ET, and Pac-Man.

@ Graphic whiner, Who cares? Nintendo and Sony will eventually figure on how to use 64-bit graphics!

@Leo

I like how you pay no attention to the names and just label them as you did.

From what I am seeing here, you call anybody who has either a slightly different opinion then you or a fact to add is a whiner.

Show some respect, mate.

*facepalm*
Atari is the start of video games. Good games, to be exact.
Also, ET was rushed.

I am the law.
