When a group of Xbox documentarians (presumably fuelled by Mountain Dew and Doritos) unearthed Atari's infamous landfill in the New Mexico desert last month, the excavation made international headlines.
Late-night talk show host and accomplished video game historian Conan O'Brien now brings us breaking news: E.T. wasn't the only terrible movie-based game found there. Watch the full investigative report:
With this iconic gaming urban legend finally verified, what will O'Brien find next? The secret to unlocking Sonic and Tails in Super Smash Bros. Melee? Let us know what you think in the comments.

HAAAA!
Next up.....the lost copies of Shaq-Fu....GOTY edition.
They didn't just buried other terrible games but a few good games too. Centipede for one was a great game that ends up being bury like crap with E.T. and Rocky III. I'm glad Atari is dead now.
Wha......?
I would prefer the Rocky IV Pong game
The funny thing about that Rocky III parody is that there is an actual prototype A-Team 2600 game where you play at Mr. T's head. It also happened to be made by the maker on ET, Howard Scott Warshaw. It started out at a game named Saboteur, which is on the Atari Flashback 2.

Those games don't look legit...
@Uberchu That's the point.
"(presumably fuelled by Mountain Dew and Doritos)" Love you guys!
@GoneFishin What this guy said. ET carts were actually in the minority, next to all the other things down there.
Next up....Geno in SSBB!!!
