[QUOTE=hellothere231;44661673]Why do people even regard this as one of the worst, if not the worst games ever? The only complaint I have is the game being boring. Oh, and the pits too, but they're not much of a problem to me.[/QUOTE] They made more copies of this game than there were consoles because they thought it was going to move consoles. It didn't.
Burying those cartridges was inadequate. They should have been placed on an unmanned spacecraft and put on a collision course with the sun.
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;44665454]Long story short: Atari (I started to type Activision. Freudian Slip?) wanted to just rush the game out as quickly as possible without putting any effort in to it. The game was a miserable failure. They took all unsold copies and buried them in this landfill, then tried to pretend it never happened. And for decades it was just seen as an urban legend in gaming, no one could prove it, but so many people knew it and told it and believed it. And now it has been found.[/QUOTE] I thought it was buried so they didn't have to pay taxes, not out of shame.
