A Trip Down Memory Card LaneIt All Comes Crashing Down: How E.T. Became the Fall Guy for Gaming’s First CollapseIn 1982, Atari rushed out E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial for the 2600 in just five weeks, hoping to cash in on Spielberg’s holiday blockbuster.

Warshaw then left Atari, later becoming a therapist, helping engineers deal with the stresses and strains of 21st century life in Silicon Valley.

ATARI BYTESE.T.: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIALIf they only knew. If only Elliott and those soft-hearted scientists knew. In 1982, extra-terrestrials invaded Earth - by leaving a so-homely-he's-cute alien being to wander the planet, seeking only to feed his addiction to sugary snacks and flowers. This horror was chronicled by some brave journalist named Steven Spielberg in the documentary "E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial". Our government finally caught the would-be conquerer of Earth. Phew! Crisis averted! But then...they let him go... And as a result, a fate worse than the destruction of Earth crashed down on us.
