What would you do if you were the winning bidder on 3 million brand new Atari 2600, 7800, and Jaguar games? Keep them for posterity? Play all of them? Stick them all in a huge-ass cave and slowly sell them all off?

Well, that’s what O’Shea Limited decided to do when they managed to get their hands on Atari’s entire inventory back in 1990. GameSetWatch currently have an interview up with the company’s president, Bill Houlehan, who made the canny investment all those years ago and stored the games in the only space he had available – a limestone cave in Missouri!

So far the company have managed to sell over 2 million of the games – they’re as new, sealed in boxes, and sell for a flat rate of $5 a piece. Apparently the best-selling titles are Pole Position, Ms. Pac Man, Dig Dug, Battlezone, Galaxian, and Hat Trick.

Setting up my very own Ataricave has now officially been added to my list of “things to do if I ever get fabulously rich” – I’ll be like Batman, only a million times more awesome!
