Why are people claiming it's an April Fools? It's not even a prank.

EDIT: Doh, the NES bit, not the 8-bit er bit.

And the 8-bit stuff isn't exactly exciting, it's just reduced colour depth that looks rubbish.

There's one just north of north Weald bassett, and if you follow the direction the guys pointing in, one of the exits off the roundabout has a 7 on it...

There's also an alien in area 51
