Atari Landfill Excavation on April 26
segamer:
So, I just got back from the dig site. It looks like the excavation is all over the internet already. So, I'm not sure I can tell you anything new. There were tons of games of all types, Atari consoles and the city of Alamogordo wouldn't let us take anything. Some of the game that were buried with E.T. were Pac-Man, Defender, Warlords, Centipede, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and more. Some of the games looked like they'd been in a landfill for 30 years and some look mint.

That's awesome. The dig made the local news here in St.Louis.
Did you bring anything home?

The City of Alamogordo wouldn't let us take anything. That part sucked.

yea I could see more than a little liability for them letting people take stuff from the trash, who knows what it was touching for 30ish years. Besides, they're keeping the good shit for themselves.

To be honest, I was skeptical of the whole PR stunt. I was thinking that maybe Microsoft planted the evidence or something. But I didn't know we had an inside man. Thanks Segamer.
