I just don't understand why anyone would want to find the games. Is it just for the documentary? I'm sure there's all sorts of 'new old stock' in landfills all over the world. Stuff much more interesting than a [very] bad video game for a console very few of us still have.

I suppose it wouldn't surprise me if limited edition numbered authentic landfill ET cartridges were a sought after collectible in the near or distant future.
