Today we see a spectacular display of how far legos have come into the modern world. The programmable interface with the once simple lego mindstorms has become complicated enough to make sudoku solvers!

This version of pong is fairly like the original one but the hardware used is minuscule in comparison. Using only a 12xxxxPIC to do all the hard labor, this project plays pong on a TV with two controllers for input.

We've seen quite a few DIY Oscilloscopes and here one more! This one is rather unique in that it as minimal as possible using a 12xxxx series PIC and outputting to a standard TV.

The Weeboy is quite the spin-off of the Wiimote. It uses an accelerometer to detect tilt and has a built in game around this sensor. This means, no joystick or gamepad, only a box that you tilt in every which way to play the game. Software & hardware schematics are available for download.

Play pong like you never have before! This is an incredibly intuitive way of playing a video game, on a rolla bolla bongo. The project write-up explains how it actually works and how much fun it is to play. If you're an old school die-hard pong fan, this is for you!

Nostalgia hits him when you look at this project. Now you can use all the old controllers with your Wii whether it is N64 or NES. The project write-up gives you all the hardware interfacing information you'll need to put everything together.

Electronic dice would seem to take the fun out of playing any board game, but what the heck right? We'll make it anyway. This project uses an AVR microcontroller and leds to show you the number 'rolled'. All software & hardware schematics are there waiting for you.

Wiimote hacking has been around for quite a while and so everything about it is pretty much out in the open now. This project write-up explains how to transmit and receive data with the Wiimote using an ATmega microcontroller.

This project is extremely useful for you flight simulator gurus out there. Commercially available joysticks are never good enough for games that demand pinpoint accuracy. Find out how to mod your joystick or even create your very own.

The Oscilloscope is a fundamental tool for anyone into electronics and these old antique ones are very dear to our hearts. This project is one of the better uses I've seen of these old o-scopes. Using an ATmega32 to control the crt inside the o-scope, "Scopetris" was born. The write up is very entertaining so give it a look!
