fiddlepaddle Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hey! If we can get some significant national (or international) coverage of this event, it might increase demand for all the common carts I have that are currently essentially worthless and pump up the value for a while...

AtariLeaf Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Freakking yes!!! Front page of Yahoo News! http://games.yahoo.c...-165828265.html Wait, the one fellow mentioned that game systems were buried there too? I thought it was just the ET carts? To think that so many 2600's themselves could have been crushed and buried is an awful thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnicton Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Freakking yes!!! Front page of Yahoo News! http://games.yahoo.c...-165828265.html Some of the article comments are worth more than the article.

Retro Rogue Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Wait, the one fellow mentioned that game systems were buried there too? I thought it was just the ET carts? To think that so many 2600's themselves could have been crushed and buried is an awful thought. This is just getting silly already. As was stated earlier in this thread and in other threads on here, it was *not* an E.T. dump. It was simply a clearing out of the Texas plant as it switched over to automation and switched focus from mainly game manufacturing to mainly hardware. Dumped stock was a wide assortment of games and hardware (console and computer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkiker2089 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Yeah, the sites picking the story up are making it more extreme every day. Pretty soon they'll clam that Atari 10400 prototypes are in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 it was *not* an E.T. dump. . Wait it wasn't? So that worker who claimed he knew where the E.T.s were buried was lying? Wow. No doubt a cover up. The sea of E.T.s will be uncovered yet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkiker2089 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Atari 10400 I have one So you have the other one? Awesome. I like how they upconvert 2600 games to PS3 quality. It's really too bad they didn't sell more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Rogue Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Wait it wasn't? So that worker who claimed he knew where the E.T.s were buried was lying? ?? What worker that claimed that? If you mean the garbage man in the latest interview, he said no such thing. He said he knew where the dumping site was, and that it was comprised of hardware and games including ET. Same thing we stated. Nothing about an ET dump. Once again, Alamogordo is not an ET dump. It was simply a clearing out of the Texas manufacturing plant as it became automated and shifted emphasis away from game manufacturing to hardware manufacturing. It consists of console and computer hardware and a swath of their in production games at the time - everything from Raiders to Pac-Man to Combat to ET. It was in no way an ET dump though.

moycon Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 including ET. Same thing we stated. Nothing about an ET dump. Once again, Alamogordo is not an ET dump. Ok so Joe Lewandowski specifically mentioned ETs (In fact it's the only game he mentioned) which is also the focus of the legend...I guess the bulk of the dump was probably Combat and other junk. Makes perfect sense. It's a cover up. BTW I stated it years before you ever stated it. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Everyone KNOWS all the ETs were taken to Area 51 a long time ago. No, the ET carts were buried in NM but if you go looking you won't find any because the space aliens beamed them up! "Future generation of humans will dig up this sh** and discover our secret. They must not know we exist. Best to beam up all the 'evidence!'" Ditto for Roswell! FYI, aliens can "beam up" stuff anywhere in the universe, buried or not. They call it "beaming up", but in reality, it functions not like a tractor beam but more like a teleporter.
