A cache of Atari game cartridges, including copies of one of the worst video games ever made, have sold for more then $100,000 after being discovered in a landfill site in the desert.
The ‘one of the worst video games ever made’ thing, of course, refers to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. A landfill copy sold for $1,535 – which is weird, because if you click on that lin you’ll see that you can get in on Amazon for around eighty bucks. Not that you should spend eighty bucks on that game either, by all accounts…

… you shouldn’t spend $8 .. you should download an Atari 2600 emulator and the cartridges for free from the internet… and scan them for viruses before using them, of course!

Wow. Belloq’s timeline was a little … long:
“You’re about to become a permanent addition to this archaeological find. Who knows? In a thousand years, even you may be worth something.”
The funny thing about the ET game is that someone–the orginal auther?–put out a patch for it that’s only a couple of dozen bytes but fixes most of the worst problems.
Holy cow…copies of this NOT part of the True Urban Legend stockpile are going for $80?! Should DEFINITELY look at selling mine, then…
