Pitfall was Atari, Mario Bros was Nintendo, correct?

I don't think they overlapped. Once Nintendo came out Atari disappeared in a hurry. If I'm remembering right

Atari was already done a couple years before Mario Bros was released for the NES. The video game crash of 1983 killed them.

Ironically, Atari started making games for the NES around 1988 under the brand name "Tengen".

I was thinking they were closer. I remember the last Atari I game I got was ET for Christmas. Which later was considered the final nail in the Atari coffin

I believe next to nothing. I seen a show sometime back about the 80s. Apparently the game flopped so bad they couldn't get rid of them. Can't remember all the details but it something along the lines they put them in a shipping container and buried them. Not sure if that was fact or just an urban legend

Yeah, a lot of people blame ET for Atari's demise. I think the 2600 ran its course and got outpaced by better technology.

Because they games weren't officially licensed they got killed by the over abundance of games, namely terrible games they weren't vetting at all. It's a huge reason that when Nintendo came about they officially licensed games to not have terrible shit they had no control over get released.

My original thought was no shit, that game was horrible. Then I got curious and Googled it. Couldn't find ET but on average games would have been $100-$120 in todays dollar.

Cheapest I could find one to buy now is $5.50.
The "landfill" games went all the to $1500.
