There was another Atari game that had a similar fate that nobody talks about. There was a 3D shooter called “I, Robot” made in the early 80s - I only ever saw it once, in an arcade in Caesar’s Palace. It did not sell well and half the production run ended up being pushed off the side of a cargo ship, probably to recover production costs through insurance. MAME does emulate it.
- squigg 5y agoThere were lots of I, Robot cabinets in the UK. I loved it - was mindblowing! Was also ported to various home computers

I think it came out around the time the video game market imploded, so it could have been general panic inside Atari that triggered someone to dump it prematurely. Loading them onto a cargo ship and pushing them off the side seems really extreme.
