The long-buried collection of E.T. and other Atari game cartridges unearthed in a documentary earlier this year will soon be bound to a museum in Rome, Italy, a series of auctions and storage in a space museum, the Alamogordo, New Mexico city council voted this week. In a 7-0 vote on Tuesday, the city council approved plans for the distribution of about 1,300 cartridges, which includes 59 Atari titles and a number of copies of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the famously poorly received 1982 game that some blame for the collapse of the early video game industry. In Tuesday's city council meeting, Lewandowski, who is also the vice president of the Tularosa Basin Historical Society, said that the primary goal for the games is for them to be shown at museums.
