Few weeks ago I found this http://benryves.com/products/avrtvgame.
It's very simple game console, I think good for beginners.
Microcontroller: ATMEGA168
Graphics: 192×128px, black and white, text/tile based (8x8 or 6x8 tiles, no sprites); composite video (PAL, I guess NTSC may work)
Sound: no
Controls: 4way pad and 2 fire buttons
Games: Tetris, Snake, Setup (not a game, but utility to center screen and invert display)
I've created one next game for it (sokoban), you can see it on my blog (sorry, it's in czech): http://www.martin-sustek.cz/avr-tv-game-sokoban/, or download sources at: http://www.martin-sustek.cz/wp-content/ ... V-Game.zip.

Hi Martin,
Nifty little game console, I recall seeing it...was it on Hack-a-Day? My very first Uzebox prototype was very similar in design, but using an atmega88. I recall how I found it amazing to generate video with so little parts.
Hmmm, I still have it, could try loading the hex on it to see what happen...
And that's a cool Sokoban game too...the ultra-minimalism is truly delightful!
