A modest but historically significant spot at the Alamogordo municipal landfill, about 9 miles south of town on US-54. In 1983, Atari buried truckloads of unsold game cartridges here — including E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the notoriously bad game often blamed for accelerating the 1983 video game crash. The burial was an urban legend for thirty years before a 2014 excavation confirmed it on camera.
A small plaque marks the excavation site. The landfill is still operational. This is firmly a pilgrimage destination for video game historians rather than a conventional tourist attraction — but for those who care, it's a genuine piece of pop culture archaeology.
