Content: Urban legend blames Atari’s failure on a single misstep: the release of E.T., a game designed to capitalize on the immensely popular film and which was rushed to market in time for the Christmas 1982 shopping season. But the game didn’t sell as well as expected, and Atari was stuck with millions of unsold cartridges. It’s a good story, but it’s not exactly fair to blame Atari’s downfall on a single bad product, even one that’s sometimes called “the worst video game of all time.” The underlying causes of the company’s collapse included a saturated home video game market, a recession that meant many families had less money to spend on expensive electronics, the increasing popularity of home computers, and the fact that Atari failed to prevent third-party developers from creating games for its system. To make matters worse, two of its executives were charged with insider trading shortly after the E.T. debacle. The company didn’t go out of business after its big stumble, but it never recovered its preeminent position in the U.S. video game market. Source: WILLIAM WEST/AFP/Getty Images
