The true story I found in my attic:
In that moment of time(whatever day it is, Atari knew that Sega and Nintendo will be taking over the video-game market. Atari did what it was best for their company, that is, to destroy all remaining cartridges, whether the game was good, like space invaders, or like ET.
But then the guys at Atari decided to just dump pac-man and ET. They needed to keep on surviving, but without games that suck. They needed those games to survive, and the only way to do that was the NES.
However, some people at Atari thought that Nintendo was not the right choice, and so they turned to Sega. Some joined the company, while others kept yelling at Atari.
At that moment, Atari was near bankrupt. A guy suggested they'd dump ALL of the remaining games and make new ones. So that's what they did. In the end, the games were thrown into the Pacific Ocean, in a crate. The crate has not been heard of since, but there was one remaining cart on the land. And it was. ET

It needs to be said, I loved this game. It saddens me that people hate on it. It was the first game I ever solved completely on my own. I was so proud and it left me looking for that sense of accomplishment again. Everyone had their first, this was mine.

In a couple of decades, the urban legend will be back again with the Constable Zuvio and Rose Tico action figures buried in a landfill.

First time in my 52 years I have devoted over 1 minute to anything involving video games. I have never understood the appeal.
