The True Story Of E.T.’s DESERT Burial
650If you were a gamer in the 1980s, the words “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial”, specifically in that order, will likely conjure up images of thousands of game cartridges being unceremoniously dumped in the New Mexico desert. There have been bad games developed over the years, titles that have been rushed through production in order to meet a certain deadline, and those released in such a buggy and unfinished state that gamers have demanded their money back, but very few have been so awful that they’ve caused players to lose confidence in the medium and crashed the market entirely. But what really happened? How did the company, which had been famed for producing outstanding video games and consoles, fluff E.T. so badly? Here is The True Story of E.T.’s Desert Burial.
