雅達利遊戲掩埋事件
Atari video game burial

context: zh_tw: 1976 年，華納通訊耗資 2800 萬美元買下雅達利公司，到 1982 年，雅達利資產淨值增長至 200 億美元。當時，公司 80% 的支出用於遊戲營銷，為母公司帶來過半收益，佔營業利潤的 65-70%。到 1982 年第四季度，公司預計明年的利潤增長將達 50%。然而，1982 年 12 月 7 日，公司宣佈利潤增長率僅為 10-15%，而非預測的數字。次日，華納通訊股價下跌三分之一，該季度結束，華納的利潤下跌至 56%。此外，雅達利 CEO 雷・卡斯薩因在雅達利營收低於預估訊息公佈前不到半小時的時間內出售了約 5000 份華納股票，身陷內線交易調查。後來卡斯薩未被發現有任何不當行為，但他仍在 7 月被迫引咎辭職。1983 年，雅達利損失了 5.36 億美元，次年被華納通訊拋售。
en: Atari, Inc. had been purchased by Warner Communications in 1976 for $28 million, and had seen its net worth grow to $2 billion by 1982. By this time, the company accounted for 80% of the video gaming market; and was responsible for over half of its parent company's revenues, earning some 65–70% of their operating profits. By the last quarter of 1982, its growth in the following year was expected to be in the region of 50%. However, on December 7, 1982, the company reported that its earnings had only increased by 10–15%, rather than the predicted figure. The next day saw Warner Communications' share prices fall by a third, and the quarter ended with Warner's profits falling by 56%. In addition, Atari's CEO, Ray Kassar, was later investigated for possible insider trading charges as a result of selling some five thousand shares in Warner less than half an hour before reporting Atari's lower-than-expected earnings. Kassar was later cleared of any wrongdoing, although he was forced to resign his position the following July. Atari, Inc. would go on to lose $536 million in 1983, and was sold off by Warner Communications the following year.

context: zh_tw: 發掘於 2014 年 4 月 26 日開始，活動向公眾開放。《E.T. 外星人》設計者霍華德・斯科特・華肖、《一級玩家》作者恩內斯特・克萊恩和電影編劇扎克・佩恩到場觀摩，參與紀錄片攝製。在場的還有當地居民，市政府官員阿曼德・奧特加（Armando Ortega）便是其中一位，據稱他是最初在 1983 年掠奪填埋場的孩子之一。奧特加表示，他和夥伴們淘到了十多部優質的遊戲，卻把《E.T.》的卡帶丟掉，在他們看來，“這遊戲爛透了…… 你簡直不能打通關。” 當初負責填埋工作的前雅達利經理詹姆斯・海勒（James Heller）也主管了發掘工程。他自曝，最初是他下令給填埋場填上水泥的。海勒表示，被埋的卡帶只有 72.8 萬盒，反駁了有數百萬盒卡帶埋在這裡的都市傳說。
en: On May 28, 2013, the Alamogordo City Commission granted Fuel Industries, a Canadian entertainment company, six months of access to the landfill to film a documentary called Atari: Game Over about the burial and to excavate the dump site. Xbox Entertainment Studios planned to air this documentary series as an exclusive to the Xbox One and Xbox 360 in 2014 as part of a multi-part documentary series being produced by Lightbox, a US/UK production company. Though the excavation was momentarily stalled due to a complaint by the New Mexico Environmental Protection Division Solid Waste Bureau citing potential hazards, the issues were resolved in early April 2014 to allow the excavation to proceed.Excavation started on April 26, 2014 as an open event to the public. E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial designer Howard Scott Warshaw, Ready Player One author Ernest Cline and film director Zak Penn attended the event as part of a documentary about the burial, as did local residents such as Armando Ortega, a city official who was reportedly one of the original children to raid the dump in 1983. Ortega stated that although he and his friends found dozens of quality games, they gave the E.T. cartridges away because the "game sucked ... you couldn't finish it". James Heller, the former Atari manager in charge of the original burial, was also on hand at the excavation. Heller revealed that he had originally ordered the site to be covered in concrete. Contrary to the urban legend that claims millions of cartridges were buried there, Heller stated that only 728,000 cartridges were buried.Remnants of E.T. and other Atari games were discovered in the early hours of the excavation, as reported by Microsoft's Larry Hyrb. A team of archaeologists was present to examine and document the Atari material unearthed by excavation machinery: Andrew Reinhard (American School of Classical Studies at Athens), Richard Rothaus (Trefoil Cultural and Environmental), Bill Caraher (University of North Dakota), with support from video game historian Raiford Guins (SUNY - Stony Brook) and historian Bret Weber (University of North Dakota).Only about 1,300 cartridges of the estimated 700,000 were removed from the burial, as the remaining materials were deeper than expected, which made them more difficult to access, according to Alamogordo mayor Susie Galea. The burial was refilled following this event. Joseph Lewandowski, who had worked to arrange the unearthing with the city, said that this was a one-time shot to recover materials from the site, as they do not expect the city to agree to a similar event again.The documentary Atari: Game Over, which features the burial site and its excavation, was released on November 20, 2014.
