Other operating items in the game will go to museums all over the world – here to be distributed will be 500 units, which will be distributed to museums on a “first come, first served” basis. ET game released for the Atari 2600 had been buried in the desert, because her publisher was so dissatisfied with the product, he decided to resort to such tricks, in order to avoid paying any taxes associated with the production of this title.
