I doubt those are really the carts. I've always heard that they were crushed up shortly after word got out about the landfill.

Would've been better without the explanation being flashed in huge words across the screen. Otherwise I like it.

I remember reading in "The History of Video Games" that there is a parking lot over top of where the landfil was.

Also... they're mixed in with tons of garbage. Digging them up would be fucking disgusting.

I know I was young at the time, but how the hell did I come to enjoy this game?

Because you had to. Remember how long we used to be able to make one shitty game last?

ET is actually a pretty cool game once you learn how to play it. The only thing that fucks it up are the pits.

It's not really that bad if you actually knew how to play it. There were worse.

So everyone seems to think that's not really the landfill eh? Well that kinda takes a bit of the 'cool' away from this video then doesn't it?

You really thought that was the real landfill?

harvesting the lore of videogamers as if it was something to be taken lightly seems wrong, populistic and respectless. These are the legends of my people.

How do you actually play it?

You run around and fall into pits. Then you turn it off.

Ah, but AoF2's control is even more broken than E.T. It's easier to escape from pits in E.T. than it is do do anything in AoF2.

The indiana jones game was way ahead of its time, almost like a proto-zelda. It wasn't easy to figure out, but it was very good, I thought. Frustrating though. That last room with the Ark was a BITCH.

Yeah, SwordQuest Waterworld is probably the worst game I've ever played. They had no apparent goal or rhyme or reason.

GOSH! Everybody knows those carts were buried in a cement tomb.
