An anthropological dispatch from the landfill dig to unearth Atari’s E.T. (2014) (harpers.org)

In case this story is interesting, then definitely watch "Atari: Game Over" documentary (available on Amazon Prime). It deals with the company, the people, and of course the dug.

Now they have dug up all the copies of ET, they can replace them with copies of Ride to Hell.
