ET Found in New Mexico Landfill

I never indirectly talk about someone, ever. Should take what I say with a grain of salt most of the time, take it easy

Lol, I wouldn't be surprised. They just leave it in a box with the original dirt it was buried in.

 

^^ eating salt now! :friendly_wink:
...
again, sorry for my misunderstanding!

 

Why they couldn't sell off so cheaply 30 years ago, They could have sell ET cart for $5? I know they won't make any profit that price but atlease they get some money back instead $0 in the pit.

Is it because They lost stock at warehouse or simply their time is running out?

 

Nobody was buying them even at $5 or $1. I remember that time and you'd see large tables with big boxes of 2600 games marked down dirt cheap. They'd just sit there. Also I believe the stores would return the unsold stock to Atari who would be stuck with them. Around 1983-84 everyone was getting into computer gaming (including coleco eventually with the Adam) so the 2600 was really showing its age.

 

Thank for information DeckardBR, I guess that is how bad it was back then.

 

I couldn't tell what was worse. ET or Indiana Jones were both horrible Atari games.

 

There were nothing wrong with Raiders of the lost ark. It was a game you needed the manual to understand, though. With that kind of graphics, you needed a lot of imagination to be able to enjoy it ... LOL
