PIC 16F84 Tetris Video Game

This is an old project that uses the Microcontroller chip PIC16F84 for the famous game Tetris. The output of this circuit is displayed on a TV screen. It also produces sound signals and can be controller by joystick.

I didn't design this circuit nor wrote the software for it , but I found it here and assembled it and found it very interesting. That's why I wanted to share it with my friends.

Here is a screen shot of the game.

And this is the schematic diagram for the circuit.

There is a free Emulator for the Microchip PIC that contains TV screen plug-in for viewing PIC signals that is directed to the TV. I found it here . I also uploaded the file Here.
