Many Atari games, and other company video games were thrown into a landfill, thanks to the 1983 video game industry crash. This was to the thanks of ET: Extra Terrestrial. The game was declared as 'awful' by many. Thousands of video games by Atari were found in the landfill, and they will sell for up to $500.00 dollars each, sometimes even more! These cartridges will sell to museums, people, and even on eBay. Sadly, most of the games were ruined in time.
