I get the same vibe from this event as the time when they opened Al Capone's vault live on TV... only to find it empty.
In that case, how will they be able to pick out the game?You'd be surprised. Depending on how the cartridges where dumped in, there might be some in the top-center that are well preserved in the anaerobic environment.Meh, at best they'll find a load of crushed black plastic, the labels will have deteriorated by now.
Or everything will be covered in shit, who knows.
Isn't there a lot of Pac Man games dug there as well ?
So I've heard. Always thought it would make a humorous Jack Black-esque movie to have some older geek hunt them down/break into Tramiel's house.They should do something useful and hunt down the lost relics from the Sword Quest games they never produced (and thus never awarded in the contests held for first few installments).
The persistant rumour is that Jack Tramiel had them, no idea if that's true or not.

Yeah, the 2600 port of Pac-man was notoriously terrible with constant graphic flickering and poor AI.

Hm, I never saw any problems like that myself. Then again, I only got the 2600 as a gift by the time it was already obsolete, so maybe they'd patched the game.
A friend of mine tried connecting his Amiga mouse to the 2600, since it used the same kind of connector, and reported that Pac Man flew all over the place. I guess they couldn't spare any processor cycles for validating input on those old machines
