Possible Landfill Excavation of E.T. Games Could Be Harmless or Horrific

8CN: It was recently announced that a New Mexico landfill, where it is thought that millions of old copies of the infamously bad E.T. Atari game are buried, is set to be excavated. This could either be a great boon to the video game industry, totally harmless, or a terrible nightmare. Let me explain.

Wtf I thought this was a satire post

I'm sure it will make for a good documentary but what do they want with the cartridges?

Satire because you didn't know that this is actually rumoured to of happened? It certainly is the coolest/strangest video gaming urban legend of our time and we may finally find out if its true. Would be a great sight to see.

It would be cool to see that!

Well there goes the value of my ET cartridge, lol.

Cover it in sand a say you found it in the desert and watch the price rocket on eBay.

This is ridiculous. When and if they are recovered? Then what? I'm not wasting my money on it again, even if this one has someone's diaper goo on it!

Just give it to McHale. He likes soiling himself in adult diapers.

Just a video game excavation, I find it interesting personally.

I personally do remember Infogrames in the years prior to merger. They really did have a portfolio that stuck out and I enjoyed. I wonder what value they see in reviving it now though?

Ah...the nostalgia...V-Rally, Hogs of War 2, Driver.

The good old days of Driver and Stuntman. Unfortunately both games are long gone.

Ubisoft owns the IP now but a new Driver or Stuntman would be incredible
