+# ledHeadWii
+Porting on Wii of Peter Hirschberg's LedHEAD (classic electronic LED handled game simulator)
+
+## OVERVIEW
+LEDhead is a program that simulates the classic electronic LED (light emitting diode) based handheld 
+games of the 70's. Now you can relive the excitement of your childhood years all over again! 
+All games feature fully authentic sound-effects, and faithfully replicate the game play of the originals. 
+
+Rather than using proprietary code or "ROM images", as is the case with emulators, LEDhead uses simple 
+but extremely clever imitation to ensure excruciating faithfulness to the games you grew up with. 
+Endless hours of painstaking effort have gone into ensuring the accuracy of each of these games.
