Hasn't the spot been paved over, to try and prevent people from digging up the cartridges?

An interesting prospect, but like Ack stated the cartridges have been paved over and are in a landfill. I fear that your documentary will fall to the wayside unless you have engaging dialogue or some celebrity. The world domniated by youtube is a dangerous and fickle place.

To be honest, i don't think anyone would really care. You and your friends would be the only ones watching it. What other ideas do you heave?

I have plenty of ideas:
Videos of the games on each of Rackets hidden gems lists.
Video Comparisons of games with many ports - ie Bubble Bobble, Street Fighter II,

None video ideas:
Homemade video wall controller that allows would allow me to have four player console games on four separate TVs - ie Goldeneye, F-zero GX, Timesplitters 2, etc. Not the most ideal option, but it would make all those who complain about screen watching shut up.
Steel Battalion Lan
Touhou based Cabinet
Gutting an old Imac G3 and installing top of the line pc components and triple booting it as XP, OSX, and Ubuntu or Puppy.

I am going to stop now.

Many have expressed interest in joining us so we will be doing it for the con if nothing else. I am going to try and get several Atari legends and fangroups involved aswell. Luckily several of them live in the same town as I do.

I kind of enjoyed playing ET as a kid. It was no Pitfall or Barnstorming, but I was amused.
