Buried copies of failed movie game ET have been found
It seems like the search for millions of copies of failed movie tie-in game E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial buried in a landfill in Alamogordo, New Mexico has finally turned something up.
The dig, which begun in earnest today, has turned up copies of the game you can see in the picture below. The crew operating the excavators are saying there are many more.

The final excavation of the site is a long time coming for Microsoft. Alamogordo city commissioners approved the search in June, but the project was later put on hold because a waste excavation plan needed to be finalized before the digging could begin. Microsoft got that approval just earlier this month.
We'll keep updating this story with any new details from today's dig.
