It probably only took me a few hours to get bored with the original Atari Lunar Lander, but every once in a while I’ll run across it in an emulator or ported over to whatever OS I happen to be using and can’t help but play it for a bit.  This, however, is  a “Port” of the game that I’m sure I wouldn’t get bored with very easily.

A video game without the video, this electromechanical celebration of the 40th adversary of the real lunar landing is just plain cool.  If you happen to be anywhere near Southwold Pier, check it out for yourself… If you’re like me and a world away, the project page has tons of pics and technical info.  Enjoy!

Nintendo has release system update version 4.2 for the Wii and it seems it’s purpose is to do nothing more than cripple homebrewed systems.  The update will remove the homebrew channel, as well as the most important couple of cIOS’ most homebrewed Wiis might have installed.  The guys over at WiiHacks are already talking about some quick fixes for those that accidentally upgraded their already hacked systems to 4.2, but buyers of new systems with the 4.2 update already installed may have to wait a short while before hacking up their new toy.
