Miracles Happen When you believe... Level: 254 Posts: 631/25311 EXP: 264116439 Next: 666886 Since: 07-16-12 From: Albany, NY OS: Windows 98 Last post: 147 days Last view: 147 days |
(why isn't the news tag available for this forum? )
Wow... I thought they'd never be uncovered I wonder if the cartridges still work? I wouldn't be surprised, as nothing can really kill those old Atari game consoles and cartridges James Rolfe (the Angry Video Nerd) is coming out with a movie based on the story of ET for the Atari, and I can't wait to watch it too (always was a fan of the AVGN, heh) "Miracles happen, when you believe..."

This is too funny!
Give it some years, those E.T. cartridges will cost money years later but that's my opinion... ____________________ My Linktree |

I always assumed it was a urban legend with a hint of truth. Just a little exaggerated.
Guess it wasn't a exaggeration. Welp. Interestingly, due to where they are buried the carts are supposedly well preserved. Not much in terms of humidity messing them up etc. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org, YouTube

I've never heard of this, but It's cool to know where Atari's went. I always thought they were worth money since they were one of the first video gaming inventions ever. I guess all the copies they made deducts price still today...especially since they are trashed. |

I always thought it was real. I heard about the ET being thrown away en masse. ____________________ Sunshine Realm Welcome to Aqmlm's, the only board with Al-Aq'mlmistrators! |

Posted by GtGywallIsn't it? I think it's good to know where all the old stuff is going. Now we know, they will go into landfills unless kept as collectibles. Silly, all the money wasted. |

It'd be interesting when archaeologists uncover more Atari cartridges thousands of years from now. I wonder what will they document on that? ____________________ Sunshine Realm Welcome to Aqmlm's, the only board with Al-Aq'mlmistrators! |

They also had controllers down there. Imagine getting a mint (abet dirty) Atari controller? Very cool!
I had in box ET back in the day (1990). I however being a kid wanted to try to play it. The cart was dead. Oh well it was more fun taking the cartridge apart than it would have been to play the game.
