Has anyone seen Atari : Game Over

[Blue Meanie]

Just finished watching the documentary in its entirety, caught it early this morning halfway through, and it's interesting. Here's a trailer from you tube...but it is on Showtime all this month:

My son and I enjoyed it. Its also on Netflix streaming.

I'd love to see a bigger documentary made from this because there really is a bigger story behind what was in this documentary. It really is the leading edge of the advances of tech. Precursor to Apple and companies of that sort. This would be a kickstarter that I would be interested in going in on...a full blown documentary on Atari which the surface is barely scratched in the documentary.

Watched it 3 times on cable

Coming from me that's about the best endorsement any movie can get

Have yet to see it (even hear about it) but will be certain to now! Thanks for posting this.

Yup, have it on my DVR, neat show and makes me yearn for Atari to be back again.

Just found this on Netflix last night and watched it with my son, hence the resurrected thread here. A funny but surprisingly touching film.

Having owned the E.T. game as a kid, I have to say, yes, it WAS that bad. But now I know why. The commentators at the end were right. It wasn't the designer's fault, it was greedy upper management desperately reaching beyond their grasp.

saw it when it first hit netflix and found it fascinating

and yeah, I agree, I HATED the ET game as a kid and found it completely frustrating and unplayable.
