The Crash of '83 was precipitated mostly by the flopped release of E.T for the 2600. It's a game that was in such shoddy condition that you literally cannot finish it. It spent less than 8 weeks in development. People were so disappointed that it killed the market until quality software came back with the NES.
It's still in landfills today.
