Introduction to Apple Silicon

All the best games for the 2600 were by third parties. There were very few good Atari games and none of them came close to the quality of the best third party games. Pretty sure it was Atari's own horrible ET game that sank them, not other companies.

Pretty sure doesn’t cut it. You’re wrong. It wasn’t as easy as OP make it out to be, that the glut of third-party games killed the 2600, but it wasn’t Atari’s own games who cratered the price of a 2600 title and took the whole console market down.

E.T. was just one more line item on a massive list of reasons for why the video game industry imploded on itself with Atari standing pretty much dead center of the blast zone.
