I do something like this every few months, and I've never tought them worthy a blog, to be honest.
It isn't particularly complicated. Base is a strong enough cardboard box from the local supermarket. I took screenshots of the console from an episode and cleaned them up with krita.
Electronics is a matrix where some rows have leds abd others buttons.
Software low level scans the matrix and drives leds and checks buttons. High level a state machine that changes state based on button presses.
I mainly us whatecer I have lying around at the moment, and don't spend much money on components.
The thing before this was a lego based crossroad with leds and an arduino
