Before there was the playstation or xbox,  even before the regular Nintendo, there was the Atari.   When E.T. was selling tickets on the big screen, E.T. tried the gaming scene.  Only to be crushed out of it's misery.  Now, I know it's old, but I happen to just thought of this band when I was watching a trailer for a game.  I don't know why, but I just did.  The music video you 're about to see is the story of a game company thinking a game would sell on the basis of name and not quality. The group Wintergreen sums it up nicely with a little history.  Although it's true that the game bombed (Millions of copies not sold),  you can't just go to New Mexico  and dig up the game.  Atari actually crushed them and poured cement over it to prevent people for taking them.  It does make you wonder how much that game would cost as a collector's item.  It's kind of the embodiment of the 1983 game industry crash. As far as the band, they are a band from LA.  With currently in the band Drew Motinger (Lead Vocal/Guitarist), Trevor Sherwood (Vocal/Guitarist), Danny Young (Bass), and Matt  Casebeer (Keyboard).  Their breakout hit was when their video "When I Wake Up" hit the internet, they gained a following.  They've since since released an EP ( The Extended Play) and a full album (Around & Around Again).
