I see plenty of 'moon simulators' but what of the walk?

Graphic simulators are abundant, but none I've seen, simulate the difficulty that the Apollo astronauts faced just trying to walk.

Is there a low-gravity walking simulator? Something that simulates the difficulty of trying to walk in 1/6th G?

EG: Simulates falling over because you tried to pick up a rock, and the subsequent struggle to get upright. Or simulates the need to adopt a 'kangaroo' bounce, rather than one foot in front of another.

A moon walking simulator?

NASA has already modified the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory for Artemis training and it has begun. Many months ago they shared a picture on Twitter of an American flag being erected by an astronaut wearing an xEVA suit.

i bought a game in the 90s, forget which, and it had a coupon for a free copy of either that game, or carmageddon.  i chose the latter.  i do not regret the decision.
