Easy to Learn, Hard to Master: The Fate of Atari
2017 110 min 9 vues
Before Google, Yahoo and even Apple, before the Silicon Valley cliché of informal dress code, skateboards running the corridors and wild creativity became commonplace, one company embodied the digital economy lifestyle and business style: the one firm coming out of the Age of Aquarius was Atari. The story of Atari is two-thirds the story of Nolan Bushnell, founder and visionary, and one-third the first and probably biggest boom and bust of the new economy some 20 years before the new economy even existed. Atari was showing that technology is cool, way before the personal computer revolution took place and they were reaching out to an ever-growing audience with something that is still cool today: video games. Atari literally introduced the digital world to the mass consciousness.

In the late 70s and early 80s, ET phoned home on Atari 2600 and became the video game that New Media magazine later described as having toppled a billion dollar industry.

Want to learn first hand how the barren valley south of The Bay gave birth to cult celebrity that died as quickly as it was born? Take the ride with the folks who made it happen. Walk on walls, smoke the evil weed, and plunge head first into the uncharted (undocumented) world that was game production back in the bad old days.

L'enfouissement de jeux vidéo par Atari est un événement qui s'est déroulé en septembre 1983 dans une décharge située à Alamogordo au Nouveau-Mexique. Le 26 avril 2014, dans le cadre d'un documentaire, des centaines de copies du jeu vidéo E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, ainsi que d'autres jeux Atari, sont déterrés à Alamogordo. Cette découverte confirme ainsi un fait considéré jusqu'alors comme une légende. En novembre 2014, une vente sur eBay permet d'écouler des cartouches de jeux divers pour un total de 37 000 dollars. Une cartouche E.T. est alors vendue au prix de 1 537 dollars.
