Do we know when this airs?
Could it be considered child abuse to have that boy try to play something so awful? Sounds like material for a therapist.Looks like they are trying the carts to see if they work !

Might want to edit that, but I fear it's too late.
Funny, I thought I remembered reading an interview with Bushnell a while back where he said the carts were buried but they were pulverized and encased in cement before they were buried. I need to try and find it.
Is Nolan Bushnell or anybody else from Atari back in the day involved in this documentary or do they refuse to cooperate with MS in any way? Because a definitive documentary about this with help from those who were there at the time would be awesome.

Here is a little more background on the story for you guys who think everything is too perfect for this to be real:

Linkage not working.
Did they dig up those TVs as well?

Ya, until I see a pic or video of at least a few thousand of these, I'm going to go with this being a hoax.
To be fair, my Atari 2600 and all my games survived full submersion in a flood.This stayed in the ground for 30+ years, and didnt degrade more than this? Ive seen arcade art stored from the '60 and '70 in warehouses with climate control that looks much more than this..
Is the myth that they are in a landfill or that there are THOUSANDS of them in a landfill?
It was a pretty cool day out there. I mean as cool as a day can be un an old landfill. The one I am holding in the photo was the very first one they found. There area a TON more down there and the story is developing on exactly how many.
Oh and nice 'shop of my head.

lol this thread is awesomeAnd the child?
I imagine these would fetch a lot on Ebay.
But would Atari still own them? Or is it finders keepers?
We could come in between (sort of) and it's just several dozen or a few hundred. There's definitely a bunch of Atari 2600 games thrown there at a minimum anyway.This.
I'm not sure I believe this story at all.

I don't think it was ever doubted that at some point Atari disposed of a lot of defective or unsold merchandise.
The "myth" part is largely the number of cartridges dumped, and whether or not it's all ET. And certainly people doubted that it would be possible to pinpoint the burial site so effectively.
I am interested to see how much stuff they find in total, and if it really is like a million copies of ET.
