Atari Game Burial - Excavated!
To those who remember prior to the video game clash of 83-
Somewhat of an urban legend was that Atari dumped millions of unsold carts and other electronics at a New Mexico landfill. This has been much debated in gaming lore, that Atari pretty much dumped a warehouse full of unsold ET carts, that contributed to the crash of 83, and trucks came and dumped all of their merchandise.
Repored that kids were rummaging through the trash daily, taking home the dumped goods.
It has been excavated and discovered, carts and other Atari items unearthed -
There is soon to be a documentary on Xbox Live covering this in its entirety.
I remember all of this. The questions, how bad ET and Pacman were, and how it led to Atari's downfall. ET is considered one of the worst, or THE worst game ever made.
