Video Game Crash of 1983

Video Game Crash of 1983 was a problem in Japan, Europe, but mostly North America which occurred between 1983 to 1985.

The crash
At the time of 1983, there was nearly 20 game consoles in the market. At that time, the Atari 2600 was the best-selling game of all time. But, most of newly-released game for the system got bad reviews and were sent to landfill sites.

Trying to solve problems, Atari then released Pac-Man a video-game version of E.T: Extra-Terrestial on the Atari 2600 because they were popular at that time, but that didn't solve problems. Those games became commercial failures and were once again, put in landfill sites.

This led to Atari going bankrupt and ended up not making new game-consoles. The 20 other consoles got very bad reviews and games were scrapped. A landfill site in North America had nearly 26'000 Atari 2600 games and nearly thousands of the system itself.

Atari buried all the games in New Mexico and were left underground for 31 years until 2014 when they were excavated by a group who were trying to find the buried games.

In 1984, the Vectrex, ColecoVision, Color TV Game, Game and Watch, Atari 2600 and the Atari 7800 were in landfil sites all over North America and Europe. Many people never played on their video-games again, since they scrapped it.

In 1985, Nintendo released the Nintendo Entertainment System to put a stop to the problem. This led to more people buying the console, making Nintendo an international success. Sega released the Master System, which became an international success. The two console became successful, making people play on video-games again and putting an end to the video game crash of 1983.
