Lunar Lander in Real Life

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!
