PONG, a video game that simulates a game of Ping-Pong between two players, has a long and pervasive history, and is said to be the first video game ever created.Here is a dual player mode, two-dimensional PONG unit. This unit sends a black and white NTSC video signal to a television and includes two separate control units for each player.The control pads include a linear position slider and a knob to control y- and x-axis movements of the PONG paddle, as well as an LED scoring and winning indicator.

The idea of this project came from my youngest son. He was dreaming of a small tool able to write symbols or pictures on a screen. As a graphic LCD (even bought at Crownhill 
) was too expensive (or too easy??), the solution adopted was to pilot a matrix of Leds. This way, with only some cheap transistors, common red Leds, and a 16F628 , the dream could become reality.

Are you a chess fanatic and you need to play in the dark for some reason? If yes,check out this project.It designed by a member on Instructables, Tetranitrate writes:
had just picked up a cheap-o glass chess set at my local arcade for the low low price of only 15,000 tickets. The novelty of playing with glass pieces quickly wore off, and I wondered how I could make it better. The thought of illuminating the set seemed very appealing, but there were so many different ways that could be done.

Yellow Submarine is an entertainment table that has electro mechanical diorama embedded in the glass top.Every element in the circuit has their own role. We made a domino effect connecting six electronic circuits which means the last part of each circuit triggers the next and makes a storyline. There is only one user input at the beginning that make the whole thing happen. There is also only one output, a mechanical counter that shows how many times the story has been run to completion.[more]
This is a Binary Counter based on 555 timer and 4520 CMOS integrated circuit.The circuit looks simple and easy to build ,but with a simple modification you can turn your circuit into device that works like high tech dice.Rather then throwing dice to create a number you can use your 4520 to create random numbers between 0 and 15.
