The Atari video game burial was a
mass burial of unsold video game
cartridges, consoles, and computers in a New
Mexico landfill site,
undertaken by American video
game and home
computer company Atari, Inc. in
1983. Up until 2014, the goods buried were rumored to be unsold
copies of E.T.
the Extra-Terrestrial, one of the biggest
commercial failures in video gaming and often cited as one
of the worst
video games ever released, along with the Atari
2600 port of Pac-Man,
which was commercially successful but critically maligned.
