For those not in the know, the 1980s Atari game, E.T (film license tie-in) was said to be one of the greatest failures of the gaming industry before Duke Nukem Forever, Big Riggs, Sega Dreamcast or Nintendo Virtual Boy. It was so bad that it almost nearly crashed the games industry in the 1980s. There has been a persisting rumour that the cartridges to E.T were buried in the desert, only to be found now.
