Polygon: "The first cartridges unearthed from Atari's legendary landfill in Alamogordo, New Mexico have been sold on eBay, with multiple copies of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600 commanding more than $1,500, despite their damaged and dirty state."
The video game 'E.T, The Extraterrestrial' for Atari 2600 is considered one of the biggest flops in gaming history. Yet the game's designer, Howard Scott Warshaw, says he couldn't be prouder of that honor. This is the story of an awesomely bad video game.
Many modern gamers might be too young to remember those fully-complete marvels of gaming goodness that formed the early gamescape prior to the rise of DLC and patches for missing and broken game content.
Replies(1)How disappointing is it to wait for a game for months and then it sucks? These are 5 video games that were expected to be great but were the opposite.
Not even $100 would woo me...lol
and people putting old ET carts they owned on Ebay after muddying them up in their garden, in 3, 2 ,1.
seriously though, is this the thing i read about where the money raised is going to charity?
if so, that would explain the high bids.
if not, that guy's just made thousands selling rubbish. o_O
