I found this documentary to be very interesting and amusing. Great amount of information and all within a short time frame, including but not limited to the history on the company itself, the people (employees) gaming and unfortunate outcome it had on one particular person (scapegoat).

A highly entertaining and informative doc. For those who were raised during the Odyssey, Atari, Intellivision era, it really brings back the memories. 5 weeks to create an entire game??? Pretty incredible. Props to Warsaw on that achievement. There are FAR worse games than ET.
