Legendary Treasure Finally Discovered!

[Fr8monkey]

Lost for years and only rumored about...

According to urban legend, a massive stockpile of Atari gear  including truckloads of the notoriously awful game E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial  has laid buried in a New Mexico landfill for over thirty years. Today, that story is no longer a myth. Construction crews have uncovered copies of the Atari 2600 game at a landfill deep in the New Mexico desert, near the city of Alamogordo.

Errm... Why would anyone hide a bunch of ATARI gear?

You have never heard of the notorious Atari E.T. game have you?

It is one of the worst video games ever made. So bad Atari took millions of copies of the game and buried in concrete in a land fill.

If your willing to pay, I'll sell you the one that's siting on my desk right now.

Heh, I don't care about then that much, though if I'd had the money, I would've gone out there to witness the excavation.

Probably as close as most of us will ever get to "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

TBH I'm more excited by this:

Correction it was so bad it helped cause the video game crash of the 80's.

Were they not buried for a reason?

History became legend. Legend became myth. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost.
