It's a video game in a box!

Using a Teagueduino and a few inputs and outputs, we put together a physical side-scrolling video game. To control it, there's a knob on the side. As time advances the game gets faster and faster -- can you avoid all the obstacles and make it to the end?

Watch the second half of the video for an overview of how everything is hooked up.

The complete source code is available on teagueduino.org

And if you're curious about Teagueduino and want to buy one, support the project on Kickstarter:

    My first "real" tv game was a Grandstand Pong clone c.1976/7. It's "FOUR GREAT GAMES" were tennis, football, squash & squash practice(?) - all paddle-based with black plastic rheostats to control the movement of said paddles.

    I do, however, remember some early mechanical 'video' games somewhat like this.

    Good times... ^_^
