Check out:
http://www.ladyada.net/make/fuzebox/

* Full 256 simultaneous output colors, 240x224 pixel resolution
* Tile & sprite support
* Two player ports, either with Super Nintendo or classic Nintendo
controllers
* NTSC RCA composite and S-video out (PAL not supported at this time)
* 4 channel output mono audio for music and effects
* SD/MMC card support for future expansion
* Built on an Atmel AVR core, 64KB flash and 4KB of RAM
* Main microcontroller chip is preprogrammed with an STK500-compatible
(sometimes referred to as Arduino-compatible) bootloader
* Write game code in C, using fully open source tools on any platform

Increasingly OT, though ;-)
