Hundreds of millions of dollars, wild keggers, hot tubs, nerds and a secret burial at a nuclear test site.

That's what we're promised in this first trailer for Game Over, an original documentary about Atari that X-Box is producing.

The trailer focuses on the legendary story of a particular game, the 1982 fiasco E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, still considered by many to be the worst video game of all time, and the story of how thousands of those E.T. cartridges came to be buried in a desert landfill.

With close to $400 million in earnings in the early '80s, Atari was once heralded as the fastest growing company in American history. With that much money floating around,  there's has to be a few good stories to be told. 

The movie is scheduled for release on X-Box in the fall.
