10 Best Video Game Documentaries Of All Time
5. Atari: Game Over
Released: 20 November 2014
If you’re a gamer, then there's a good chance that you’ve heard of the urban legend surrounding the Atari 2600's ET and the tons of cartridges buried in the desert. Atari: Game Over unearths the legend of the 'worst video game of all time' and explains just what happened to Atari, Inc.
The documentary features wild stories from Atari's heyday, sobering accounts of the ET game's development and a nail biting excavation of the Alamogordo landfill site in New Mexico. This snappy 66 minute film is guaranteed to give you a whole new perspective on Atari's greatest failure.
Atari: Game Over can be rented for just 99p on iTunes UK. It's also available on YouTube and Google Play and can be purchased for £3.99. The same options are available in the US with comparable prices.
