Atari: Game Over
A la recherche des cartouches du "pire jeu vidéo de l’histoire"
L'enfouissement de jeux vidéo par Atari est un événement qui s'est déroulé en septembre 1983 dans une décharge située à Alamogordo au Nouveau-Mexique. Le 26 avril 2014, dans le cadre d'un documentaire, des centaines de copies du jeu vidéo E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, ainsi que d'autres jeux Atari, sont déterrés à Alamogordo. Cette découverte confirme ainsi un fait considéré jusqu'alors comme une légende. En novembre 2014, une vente sur eBay permet d'écouler des cartouches de jeux divers pour un total de 37 000 dollars. Une cartouche E.T. est alors vendue au prix de 1 537 dollars.

Iverson is the ultimate legacy of NBA legend Allen Iverson, who rose from a childhood of crushing poverty in Hampton, Virginia, to become an 11-time NBA All-Star and universally recognized icon of his sport. Off the court, his audacious rejection of conservative NBA convention and unapologetic embrace of hip hop culture sent shockwaves throughout the league and influenced an entire generation.

⭐ 6.2Easy to Learn, Hard to Master: The Fate of Atari
Before Google, Yahoo and even Apple, before the Silicon Valley cliché of informal dress code, skateboards running the corridors and wild creativity became commonplace, one company embodied the digital economy lifestyle and business style: the one firm coming out of the Age of Aquarius was Atari. The story of Atari is two-thirds the story of Nolan Bushnell, founder and visionary, and one-third the first and probably biggest boom and bust of the new economy some 20 years before the new economy even existed. Atari was showing that technology is cool, way before the personal computer revolution took place and they were reaching out to an ever-growing audience with something that is still cool today: video games. Atari literally introduced the digital world to the mass consciousness.

The confessions include his loneliness, his obsessions with women, his bewilderment by fame, his sense of the disintegration of Sixties' subculture, his nervous breakdown in 1973, and his peace now.
