In 1983 Atari came out with the game "E.T. The
Extra-Terrestrial" which failed miserably. Atari was so ashamed that they
were rumored to have collected all unsold games up and buried in the New Mexico
desert. This was all just a rumor until the games were dug up by Microsoft
recently to be sold on eBay. They can be purchased for anywhere between $100 to
$800.
I think it’s funny how Atari's game that
they were so ashamed about is now making a lot of money just because it was so
bad. They tired to cover up their flop by literally burring it but it just made
people more interested and brought attention to it. I don't think I’d ever pay
that much for a bad game.
