A desert landfill near Alamogordo, N.M., yielded hundreds of E.T. game cartridges buried there in 1983 by Atari, after its game based on the Steven Spielberg movie flopped during the 1982 holiday shopping season. A former Atari executive who was on the site of the anthropological excavation said he was given the job of getting rid of 728,000 game cartridges that were in a warehouse in El Paso, Texas, in mid-1983. It may be a horrible game, but 32 years after, you are here, talking to me about it. Its a tremendous honor, said E.T. game developer Howard Scott Warshaw.
