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.

I'm glad to know these things are found. XD 

I wonder what they're going to do with all the carts.

Simple: they are garbage heaps, not compost heaps.

No moisture out there. You find some of the oldest cars in the bushes with no rust. It's a strange thing to see in person. I'm from pa so cars etc tend to corrode rapidly.
