Heard rumors about the big Atari dump for 20+ years... Its true. They buried it all in New Mexico.
What I would give to be there.

:lol: yeah. Saw that this morning. Talk about blast from the past. And I remember playing that awful game. I wonder where they buried all the SWBF III games?

Never heard of this. They dug garbage up but why? I wonder if the games are still playable, and if so, what are they worth today? And what Duel said ^^^

The game never was that playable to begin with. :lol:

I've seen an emulated version of it played, it is a great way to work yourself into a frenzied rage.

I just remember that you had to collect the pieces for a transmitter, assemble, and then try to make that stupid flower bloom. I would rather play Force Unleashed II for 24 hours straight before playing that ET game again. Some things are better off buried.

I remember running all over a relentlessly redundant map, hiding behind trees, falling in pits, and making my neck extend.
Worst. Game. Ever.
