For anyone familiar with this, theres long been a legend that Atari upon its bankruptcy in the 80s, dumped a ton of material in a NM landfill. Well they proved it yesterday.

Lots of good pictures.

It was never a legend, there was a paper trail and it was widely reported on when it happened.

yeah, I remember seeing an article about it with pictures and people selling stuff out of it about 15-20 years ago

i've never understood why there was so much interest in finding out whether a completely believeable and mundane story was true

Seems like it would be cheaper to just buy a bunch of Atari games on eBay that actually work.

In other shocking news, Freddie Mercury was gay, Dan Quayle was a moron, and Ronald Reagan had Alzheimers!
