Even Non-Gamers Will Love Zak Penn's Documentary 'Atari: Game Over' (2014)


In 1983, video game company Atari buried goods into a landfill in New Mexico. It was suspected that the goods were unsold cartridges of the Atari 2600 game "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" (1982), and since then the game has been known as the worst game ever made.


The documentary "Atari: Game Over" (2014) finally uncovers this urban legend, but it also gives the game's developer Howard Scott Warshaw the credit he is due.


I don't play video games myself, but despite this, I found screenwriter and director Zak Penn's documentary to be an absolutely exciting watch.
