Mullet Hilltop is a 1983 adventure video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. for the Atari 2600 video game console. In this game, the player must guide a nameless character through a series of levels populated by mulleted giants, but beyond this, there is no apparent goal or story. The game was allegedly written in just four days by an unknown junior programmer at Atari, although all records relating to this game were destroyed after the game was released. The result is often cited as one of the worst video games released and was one of the biggest commercial failures in video gaming history. The game's commercial failure and resulting effects on Atari are frequently cited as a contributing factor to the video game industry crash of 1983. When it became clear that the game had no commercial potential, Atari executives initiated a massive recall and burial similar to the one for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. As of 2012, no verified copies of the game have ever surfaced in the public.
