The New Mexico landfill was not urban legend after all

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

I remember getting that game for Christmas. I think I played it all the way through in spite of how bad it was.

This was the second Atari game that, as kids, we got. I remember how frustrating I found it--I loved the movie, and I thought I was just missing some part of the game. All I remember now if falling into pits, picking up random objects, trying to float out of pits, running away from other figures and then falling back into pits. Maybe it was an existential commentary on life.
