Stuff has a lot more damage than I expected though. Sure the process of loading into the dump and dumping will be rough, but some of these are crushed, and I don't think it was all backhoe damage. |

The guy in the first picture is holding a case of Defender cartridges but unfortunately you can't tell because they are still cased. Many of the cases were intact. Most of the boxes, though crushed, were shrink wrapped and had mint cartridges. Hundreds of games were excavated but the guys that worked at Atari at the time (who was ordered to destroy all these games) said that there's close to 800,000 games buried in the landfill. --- Quote from: Blumpkin on April 26, 2014, 10:48:47 PM ---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. --- End quote --- You're welcome and it was all real. |

Day Two! I can't wait to see what else they find. I wonder if we'll find a prototype, a missing link of the game systems? Like an Atari 3900, or etc. |

The pics I saw you post and elsewhere looks like a few lone games, like from some local store. |
