Exhuming Atari: archaeology and the video game graveyard

An urban legend stated that in 1983 Atari buried millions of video game cartridges in a desert landfill in Alamogordo, New Mexico (USA). These games included copies of "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial", the worst video game of all time.

31 years later archaeologists returned to the desert to conduct the world's first excavation of video games to see if the rumor was true, and what other secrets Atari buried with E.T.
