As some old-school gaming enthususiats may recall, E.T., while being a great movie, made a terrible video game. Hundreds of thousands of copies of this crappy, licensed piece of schlock were manufactured for the Atari 2600. I actually owned a copy myslf, but apparently I was among the few, for Atari had to bury many many copies of the game that just wouldnt' sell in an until-now undisclosed landfill.
That's right, like Atlantis, El Dorado or Lemuria, the E.T. landfill had been shrouded in legend, but, according to an article at classicgaming.com, it has been found.
