Video game crash of 1983

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I remember when I was very young and into video games, this was a topic that was brought up. A lot of it had to do with E.T. being one of the worst games for Atari and contributing to the video game crash. It was considered one of the worst games ever made back in the 80s, however nowadays many games could not even light a candle to E.T. game. Perspective has definitely change when it comes to older vintage game in our current day.

Evaluate the article
The beginning paragraph has no sources attached to any of the sentences. I would think one or two would suffice when explaining the video game crash. There is some mention of the E.T. game, but it does not pale in comparision to how much that game was deemed one of the factors of the crash. I think a better job can be made about how the video game industry rebounded significantly after this crash. The article does a great job with the pictures alongside the article, giving an idea of the models of video game consoles and the video games themselves that are being talked about.
