Video games found in Alamogordo landfill
An Alamogordo landfill was home to hundreds of “E.T.” game cartridges, diggers learned on Saturday.
The video game’s commercial failure was partially responsible for the demise of Atari in the early 1980s.
The contents of the “Atari Grave” have become urban legend, with blog posts speculating about millions of cartridges and other Atari projects buried there.
A spokeswoman for Atari says the company changed hands many times since 1983 and does not know what is buried there.
