A company has won the rights to search for the copies of the Atari ET that were supposedly dumped in New Mexico, and hope to document the search.

Pretty cool story, and shows how much video games have become a part of our modern history.

1983? Pretty sure they'll be absolutely ruined by now. :confused:

It's pretty cool but not as cool as the Burmese Spitfires.

No one really knows if they are there or not. May think it's an urban legend. I believe the company doing the digging are actually creating a documentary about it.

Isn't that the plot to the Angry Video Game Nerd's upcoming movie? o.O

I was right! It IS the basic plot of the AVGN movie! :eek:

I still have mine in the attic along with many other games and an original 2600.
