Canadians on the hunt for 'E.T.' and other gaming urban legengs

Quoted from the link posted below: "A Canadian studio has confirmed to the BBC it will search a former landfill site in New Mexico where Atari's much-criticised ET game may be buried."

Just thought this was an interesting little thing to share after I spotted it on the BBC news website.
Despite this being a relatively well known urban myth amongst the gaming community, not least as this game for the Atari 2600 was widely critisised as one of the main catalysts for the 1980s crash of the video game industry, a bunch of perhaps slightly mad Canadians have endeavored to attempt to disprove an urban myth and turn it into fact.

Anyway, I thought this might be a good opportunity to discuss any other urban legends/myths connected to the videogame industry/videogames in general.

It's weird that the destruction of game cartridges seems to have been more thorough than a lot of hazardous waste disposal during that area. Shitty video game- bury it in concrete! Toxic waste, dump it in the river!

Although considering the quality of those games they might be more hazardous to your health then the toxic waste.

All I can think of at this time is all the myths that have to do with the early Mortal Kombat games.
