This Guy Purchased A Tank On Ebay, But Didn’t Know It Contained A Fortune

Buried Video Games?

Today’s gamers love everything from PCs to various forms of X-Box, the Wii, and Playstation. But back in the 1980s, it was all about the Atari. With the release of Steven Spielberg’s hit film ET, Atari released a game for lovers of both gaming and ET in a game called ET: The Extraterrestrial. However, the game was a complete failure and it was later reported that thousands of copies were crushed and buried in Alamogordo New Mexico. Many believed that the story of the destruction was just an urban legend. However, years later a documentary was made called Atari: Game Over. In 2014, excavators descended on Alamogordo and were able to find 1,300 games cartridges. People still wanted the games and the sale of the cartridges has now made around $108,000. Now that’s an unexpected find!
