I've just spent the
last little while being sucked in to the debate about whether Atari really did
bury all those ET cartridges in New Mexico back in the day. There are a number
of conspiracy freaks over at the Atari Age forums claiming that
it's all urban legend etc. and wanted proof. So a collector from Dallas took a
road trip to Alamagordo Mew Mexico to track down some of the people that may
have been involved. There are old newpaper clippings scans, satellite
images, blair witch type videos with interviews of the sanitation workers that
worked in the dump etc.... It's a real hoot.
