MegaSokoban

Martin Šustek brings his second game to the Uzebox, an implementation of the classic Sokoban game…with a twist: it features a cool 999 levels, a 1000 moves undo buffer and keeps track of completed level in EEPROM! Check out the forum post here, the wiki entry and game can be found here.

Hartmut Wendt released a cool and original application for the Uzebox: a speaking thermometer! It uses an LM75 I2C sensor and the SD interface to stream the .WAV samples in real-time. The “game” features a demo mode that simulates the sensor. The forum post is here and the wiki page is here.

ITead Studio  is now stocking the Uzebox printed circuit board for a mere $4.50.  They’re also stocking a lot of open source project’s PCBs and offer a very competitive PCB service!

Simon

Hartmut Wendt is back with another classic! Test your memory with his 4th game, an implementation of Simon, the classic electronic toy from the 80′s. The wiki entry is here, the forum post and ROMs can be found here and there also a Youtube video demonstrating the game play.

Atomix

Martin Šustek released his first game, Atomix just in time for Maker Faire! The goal of the game is to assemble molecules from compound atoms by moving the atoms on a two-dimensional playfield. The game features 50 levels to keep you busy for a while. The wiki entry, ROM and sources are found here, the forum post can be found here.

It’s now official and there’s no turning back: the Uzebox is going to Maker Faire!  The location is the New York Hall of Science during the weekend of September 17th-18th. We’ll give away a couple PCBs, run best-score contests to win full kits and surely have a lot of fun meeting other makers! If you happen to live in the area, we have a complimentary one-day tickets pair to give away, just leave uze6666 a personal message on the Uzebox forum!

Hartmut Wendt just released his 3rd game, a re-make of the famous QBASIC game Gorillas published in 1991 with MS-DOS 5.  It pits you against a friend or the computer and sports graphics and music very close to the original game. The wiki entry is here, the forum post and ROMs can be found here.

The EUzebox is now officially shipping!  DIY kits are available in two versions and a nice assembly guide has been made to help out.  You can buy it here.

How cool is that, an article featuring the Uzebox has been posted at ComputerWorld!  It also features an interview with it’s humble creator. It’s also been published on TechWorld.
