This might sound like an odd question, but...
I remember reading a thread around these parts a few years ago in which someone mentioned loaning an extensive set of cartridges to a developer (Activision?) so that they could dump 'em for a 2600 compilation.
Could anyone point me to that thread/site/news/chatter? I've been trying to find it, but can't.
(If you're wondering why -- I'm working on a library science degree and in the midst of a paper on archiving classic software... the story provides a great anecdote about the lack of classic game software archives even at 80s companies that still exist.)
