Atari: Game Over (2014)

Against the backdrop of a dig at a landfill in Alamogordo, NM the brief history of Atari Games (1977 - 1984) is told. There is also a spotlight on Howard Warshaw the creator the E.T. cartidge game for the Atari 2600 console. The E.T. game has often been reviled as the worst game ever. There are a number of experts in the movie who dispute this notion, including Warshaw.

Overall this was an okay film. It didn't blow me away. There was some interesting information but I didn't love it. I did like the way the movie was broken down into chapters and the fact that it was only an hour long.
