There is a long standing rumor, an urban legend if you will, that Atari buried all remaining copies of the atrocious game E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial somewhere in Alamogordo, New Mexico. This was back in 1983.

Now, Microsoft and Fuel Entertainment are going to the Alamogordo landfill to try to dig up the truth. They want you to help.
Fuel Entertainment brought the opportunity to Xbox Entertainment Studios, and now, as part of a documentary series (developed by Xbox Entertainment Studios and two-time Academy Award winning producer Simon Chinn and Emmy winning producer Jonathan Chinn, through their multi-platform media company, Lightbox), the team will excavate the legendary New Mexico landfill to reveal the true story of Atari’s bizarre burial.

Director Zak Penn (“X-Men 2,” “Avengers,” and “Incident at Loch Ness”) will be documenting the dig and the events around it. In addition to fans and media, a variety of people tied to the dig, video game, and film will be in attendance – including “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” video game designer Howard Scott Warshaw, a team of archeologists and representatives from Xbox Entertainment Studios, Lightbox and Fuel Entertainment. We hope you’ll join us as we get to the bottom of one of gaming’s biggest mysteries. A lucky handful of fans could even be interviewed for the film.

If you would like to go dig in a desert landfill for an entire day and have a small chance at being interviewed for this documentary that they're making, here is what you need to know.
