Posted on November 9, 2010 by max

For those of you interested in making your own custom DIY RGB LED Tetris game, take a look at the work done by Stanislav Ponomarev, pretty darn impressive.  I have always thought of putting one of these in my future coffee tables so my guests can enjoy some retro-gaming while they relax.

Posted on November 9, 2010 by max
