Heh, it's ok. I didn't put full effort into it. I was going to post a link to the source (Rick roll vid) but my phone's keyboard was passing me off too much. That's what I get for half-assing.

Were you going to actually rick roll? Because I haven't been rick rolled in so long and you totally would've at least gotten me on that

Heh, too funny.  What's MS's angle on funding such a pointless endeavor?  Free press?

Hey, didn't you win the Super Star Soldier raffle? Congrats, man! There are lots of cool cheats in that game, not to mention a couple of simple but fun hidden games (a short side scrolling platformer, and a mini king of casino type game).  Too many codes to list here but you can get them at gamfaqs:

That is me! I had been looking into getting the PCE version for awhile and this worked out perfectly. I'm real excited to play it even though I've heard it's pretty difficult.

And thanks for all the information and whatnot, I appreciate it. I'll definitely check it out once I get the game

So the gaming historian just did a little ep on this topic

Nah, rickroll is a prank whose day has come and gone. It would be lame and in poor taste to do something like that nowadays.

Those boxes and carts are remarkably well preserved. I'm shocked! The cart looks almost new lol

Well, if they were packed under earth, and packed well, water most likely never made it down that far to help decompose things.

uhhhhh..... That's how water and gravity work. Water sinks from the surface through the soil until ends up in some water table or aquifer. Not trying to be a smart ass, seriously. Where these buried in a desert or something?

New Mexico. So...yes.

I recall Nintendo doing something similar to this back in the late 90s with all those extra copies of Actraiser and top loading NESs at the local landfill in the town I grew up in. Luckily I manged to get a few top loading NESs and a new copy of Actraiser, pity I can't find neither at my dad's place..

The area was also covered in concrete.

Man they must not have wanted anyone digging up those turds. Lol

The dug up Atari E.T carts apparently sold for up to $1500 on eBay.
