mjakob42 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Ladies and Gentlemen of the forums, the legends are true. https://games.yahoo.com/news/diggers-ataris-e-t-games-landfill-193256509.html EDIT: Just realized I put this topic in the wrong section. To the moderator/admin who will inevitably move this topic, my apologies (I meant to post it in The Arcade). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneUnder Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Moved to The Arcade, and it's alright. It is certainly amazing what can be uncovered after all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drasiana Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 They found a shitton of awful Atari games buried in the middle of the goddamn desert? This sounds like the setup to the best/worst ghost/curse movie ever. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlow Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 They found a shitton of awful Atari games buried in the middle of the goddamn desert? This sounds like the setup to the best/worst ghost/curse movie ever. Correction: A shitton of copies of an awful Atari Game. And considering how it pretty much almost ruined videogames and ruined Atari and the employees of various companies... Yeah it is cursed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidi Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Hasn't this been a rumour for some time? I've heard about the 'mass Atari grave in the desert' stuff before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasiana Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 ^ Yeah, it's been an urban legend for a while. You do know the upcoming AVGN movie's plot is centered on this controversy...right? No, because I couldn't care less about the AVGN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I heard this dig project was canceled. Awesome that they did it, though I am a little suspicious as the cartridges shown with the article look to be in remarkably good shape for being run over with an excavator and then buried for 30 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroberson Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Maybe they only took pictures of the ones that were better preserved? For some reason I am imagining the soil in a desert to be quite hospitable to plastics and not decomposing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
