Ehh I hope they used these few as sample of the first games they found and don't try to tell us that this is all...

The Atari 2600 is the console with the most epic lifestory of them all.

But seriously though... I was under the impression that is was already known this event was indeed real :-| .

The Atari Corporation – faced with overwhelmingly negative response to the “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” video game – allegedly disposed of millions of unsold game cartridges by burying them in the small town of Alamogordo, New Mexico in 1983. Fuel Entertainment took an interest in the legend, and in December 2013, with help from local garbage contractor Joe Lewandowski, acquired the exclusive rights to excavate the Alamogordo landfill.

Was it a myth? I thought the Atari landfill was always seen as a fact.
