Atari's ET. Game was bugged. Every 80's kid that bought this was disappointed. It is the worst video game in history and all unsold copies were buried in a landfill only to be rediscovered decades later.

The High Score is a great documentary that actually has the guy that developed it. I think he was high when he developed it which explains a lot.
It's a bad game for sure, but it is far from the worst game in history
Obligatory Fixing E.T. The Extra- Terrestrial for the Atari 2600
