In 1983, Atari dumped 10 truckloads of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial for Atari 2600 in the New Mexico desert, but one film crew is now on the cusp of unearthing them as a historical study. Gamers with a taste for the morbid may already be familiar with Dumping the Alien: Unearthing the Atari Graveyard. This documentary film from Lightbox Productions and Fuel Entertainment chronicles filmmaker Jonathan Chinns quest to track down the final resting place of the unsold copies of E.T. Chinn held a panel at SxSW 2014 to give fans their latest look at the films progress. E.T. is widely hailed as one of the worst video games of all time, even though more than 30 years have passed since its initial release.
