I see a lot of Atari chit chat so I thought I'd share the url to the article I found. It seems some diggers found some what was thought to be extinct Atari Games. Can anyone tell me the value of these games? Check it out.
The little bit that we've seen so far in photos and stuff seems to back this up. Folks have spotted about 20+ different titles for the 2600 from the dump
Yeah, the article talks about ET, but the first picture in the article
is Yars Revenge or something else.
The whole ET thing is funny to me because back in the day when my family had an Atari, my sister and I played ET all the time and had fun with it from what I remember.

Ooops. I don't remember ET but it was supposed to be one of the worst games for Atari. I wonder what the value will be in another 20 or 50 years? I don't want to even think about the stuff I've tossed in the
trash over the years.

2600 being (for accounts) the first licensed movie game really got the ball rolling. The game is SHIT. I've never had a game fustrate me within 3 minutes. It's horrid.
So bad was it that Atari decided to bury a ton of leftovers in new mexico, and no one was really sure if they did it or what... it became an urban legend. New Mexico finally let a bunch of gamer nerds/historians dig up the site to see if the legend was true...
The game is still shit, I wouldn't buy a copy if they paid me to take it
off their hands.
Still it's one of those legends that I think it was pretty cool to see people genuinely still curious about the fate of an old 2600 game. Gamers have a lot of time to think about things during long gaming sessions.

See, this isn't really true. It wasn't only E.T. that was buried there.
There were over 30 different games, along with peripherals, etc. And it wasn't millions of carts, but thousands. Finally, it wasn't a secret. There
this exemplifies how the internet takes lies and republishes them so much in so
many places, they become false truths. wikipedia is a prime example. history has been rewritten many times over there.

The problem is also with journalist who don't bother to research news anymore.

yeah, but the BS story is more interesting. that's probably why it took off like this.

More importantly, when you pull these out of the dump, do you just blow
on the contacts or do you use an eraser to clean them before playing the game? ;P
