I love how they add in the jingles for the Atari commercials to make a simple game seem like the greatest thing ever ;D

Don't forget Atari's E.T. and the hype surrounding that game...
God, that had to be the worst. Didn't, like, a million of the things end up in a landfill, or something..? I can picture a neighborhood now resting atop of a landfill of long-buried E.T. cartriges like something out of Poltergeist...
And it would be just as frightening...

I actually liked Atari E.T. It was the only Atari game I could actually finish ;D
But it certainly wasn't worth the big bucks (can't remember how much it cost in those days) my mom paid for it back in the day LOL
Here is the commercial for E.T. by Atari
