Did the E.T. Atari Video Game Destroy the Video Game Industry?

We're taking a rewind on one of my favorite episodes about one of my favorite 1980s subjects: The E.T. Atari video game. Everything was set to make this thing a hit—but it went down as one of the worst games in video game history. This throwback episode looks at the hype behind the game, how it was made in only 5 weeks, the backlash, and how it may have led to the downfall of the video game industry.
