I just played it a couple minutes ago. It is part of the Atari 50
collection on Steam, which is fantastic! I didn't understand what to
do though!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLU53q3yrMA looks cool, but where can we
play it? :(

Archive.org has it (of course)
https://archive.org/details/adv-2600-r
The video you linked to is of a fan-created reboot though (or a
remaster? Remake?) and not the game as came out in 1980.
If you want the original experience, try either the aforementioned
"Atari 50th Anniversary Collection"
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1919470/Atari_50_The_Anniversary_Celebration/
or play it on archive.org (via MAME emulation)
https://archive.org/details/Adventure_1978_Atari_NTSC
It's still all 'move the green square to the red square' gameplay to
me. ;-)

Wow, it exists!

Right. It looks rad though.

I have it in my MAME. ;) Or some people still have the real physical
console and cartridge. Not me! Those were long gone. :(
