The Popularity of Atari's E.T. Shows No Signs of Slowing Down

Lest anyone thinks this is a true story, don't. This is an "alternate reality" story put out by a wesite called 1UP dot com. The headline of their stories is this:
"What If?: Gaming's Alternate Realities
1UP explores what might have happened had video game history gone differently."

But the first paragraph description of Alamogordo is interesting and very telling, especially coming fron an outsider's viewpoint.

It is it true that they buried many of the unsold ET Atari cartidges at the old dump here though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.T._the_Extra-T... (video_game)

The first paragraph describes Alamogordo perfectly. Hey lets save the PUB to keep the town looking like a dusty old relic from the 50's and 60's. LMAO!!!!!

I say this in reply to the made-up article's comments about an Atari plant. It would be nice if we could get a big and strong distribution center or manufacturing plant here in Alamo, like Presto was or something similar. Anybody that I ever run into that worked at Presto says that they were paid well and got good benefits. I guess that's why Presto relocated, so they wouldn't have to pay American prices for labor. Does anyone remember what year they closed and if they did move production to Mexico or if they just closed this plant without moving it?

Presto relocated to China, not Mexico. Just found that in an article. But what's funny about Presto's own website history of the company, it mentions when the Alamgordo plant was built and opened but certainly no mention was made of its closing and moving to China. Isn't that part of its history too?
