Behind the Scenes of Xbox’s New Atari Documentary


Earlier this year, WIRED accompanied filmmaker Zak Penn into the New Mexico desert. The aim: Excavate a buried treasure trove of Atari videogame cartridges that were buried when the pioneering company’s fortunes went sour in 1983.


The results, and the story behind the making of the infamous Atari version of E.T., are documented in a new film from Xbox, Atari: Game Over. It will premiere via the Xbox Live service, free to all members, on November 20.


We brought you the first video documenting the dig, back in April. Now here’s a more in-depth behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie.
