What would you do?

[MrAtari2600]

Ok I hear about this rumour which is probably false but anyways why not dream eh?

 

There was a landslide and atari put over 1 million copies of the ET game in it.

 

If you found it what would you do?/

just a question for fun.

I would get all the carts if they're in good shape, and use them for making tables,and ect. If Super Mario Bro/Duck Hunts games are used for making tables, and etc., why not? I would sell the tables and etc. on ebay then. I doubt if they could be used for future 2600 homebrew or hack games. No plans on making them into a massive et shrine or temple.

Probably meant "landfill".

[JB]

That much ET in one place is an evil the likes of which the world has never seen.

I'd nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

[JimmydelaKopin]

*swing swing swing*...ahh the right baseball bat for the job.

Here, dead horsie horsie horsie...

 

 

Actually, last I read about this, the landfill section with the E.T. games was covered over with concrete...just like they use to contain nuclear waste.

Wonder if there's a connection?

[silverpoodleman]

I move the CCT (Center for Conspiracy Theories) there and build the new national office made from...you guessed it, ET carts

[shep]

Take as many copies as I could home and sell them on eBay. Being sure to state over and over how "rare" they are

[BydoEmpire]

shep, don't forget to put "[email protected]@K" and capitalize RARE in the description!

 

Making furniture out of them is a fine idea. Or maybe give a big boxes of the carts to 2600 homebrew makers.

[liveinabin]

If the cartridge shells were still okay, I'd sell them to Albert

[Famicoman]

I would get all I could, And fill my basement.

[Red 5]

I'd call Stevie Knicks and Drew Barrymore.

 

I took my love, I took it down

Climbed a mountain and I turned around

I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills

’till the landslide brought me down

 

Oh, mirror in the sky

What is love

Can the child within my heart rise above

Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides

Can I handle the seasons of my life

 

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing

’cause I’ve built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Children get older

I’m getting older too

 

Oh, take my love, take it down

Climb a mountain and turn around

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills

Well the landslide will bring it down

 

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills

Well maybe the landslide will bring it down

I would sell each broken piece for $10,000 on ebay and every piece would sell because most people are stupid and would buy just about anything for large amounts of money.

[christianscott27]

i have some shoeboxes in the hall closet with perhaps a dozen copies of ET, anyone wish to experience the magic is free to come over and "discover" them. just imagine how it would be if there were 10000x more and they were covered with dirt! i remember one time i was at the flea market and this guy 20 boxed copies of "strawberry shortcakes musical match up" that had been rained on then dried out... the thrill lives with me to this day!

[Sonic]

i would dig up them all and make a pair shoes, some cell phones and backpack and out of them, then i would trade all the extras to gamecrazy

[ls650]

I thought I'd read somewheres a story about someone trying to track down the 'landfill' of ET carts; he found it to be an urban myth.

[Famicoman]

I think its true. Stingray covered it before he stopped coming around.
