Well (last time I heard it) was that a documentary was being produced about the E.T./Atari ordeal, and this was before the discovery. I believe the news came about last year.

You say that as if they're cursed upon them.

Maybe these games are like the Jumani game and the curse that killed Atari will move onto who ever finds them. Check this guy's twitter, see if he reports hearing drums or giant mosquitos flying round his attic.

Funny how it's a documentary being done by them & how it's took nearly 30 years to find them, then all the rumours that they'd been shredded/buried in concrete etc.

Like, you have some hidden vendetta other than E.T. being an absolutely terrible game? Conspiracies?
