SAN FRANCISCO: Searchers, accompanied by documentary filmmakers, plan to scour a New Mexico landfill in an attempt to unearth a legendary dump of millions of unwanted E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial videogame cartridges rumoured to have been buried at the site in the early 1980s, organisers said on Friday.
