Game Over: Stories of E.T. and industry failures uncovered in new trailer

Recommended Videos

You ever hear of game developers living like rock stars? That’s what Atari was doing back in the ’80s when it was on top of the world. Then E.T. happened, and well, it all went wrong very quickly.

It’ll air on Xbox platforms later this year, meaning that you don’t have to go sit around a filthy New Mexico landfill like others did to learn about history.
