garyp Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 I heard a rumor that Atari dumped a load of carts and stuff in a tip somewhere in the US. Also heard it was under a Wal Mart or something? Any of you guys know anything about it? Is it true or just a rumor? If it's true does anyone know where it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstefans Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 Go to this website and click on "Atari's Timeline", go down to "1983 - ...And All Fall Down" and it says: "Atari closes its El Paso manufacturing plant. Fourteen trailer trucks filled with unsold games are dumped in an Alamorgordo, New Mexico landfill and buried in concrete. Atari claims the games were defective." I have no idea how accurate this statement is since I don't know the author of the website but you might try emailing them and asking them where they got their info. I also wondered about this and thought that someone with a lot of time and energy (and money) on their hands could really make this a real-life rescue mission! Cheers...
