The Latest in IT Security

Its a story of legend that was finally proven true earlier this year: back in April, construction workers in New Mexico unearthed a cache of Atari 2600 games (including the notoriously horrible E.T.) from a landfill, where they had been buried for more than 30 years. Atari put them there during the great video game crash of 1983, but the story had never been confirmed until the excavation. Now, theres a plan for the uncovered games: according to a report from Polygon, the approximately 1,200 games that were found will either head for museums or be auctioned off on eBay. The primary goal is that they go into museums and the story be told, said dig site manager Joe Lewandowski, according to a recording of a city council meeting this past Tuesday.
