A simple game is always much more fun when it is spiced up with some cool electronics. The wooden tilt maze game has been around for a long time. This Marble Maze that is Remote Controlled using an Accelerometer kicks up the original game by allowing the player to interact with the game using a controller that moves the real game according to user movements.

If you are working on an electronic hack and would like to poll the hacker audience. Chip Hacker is a site that should work well for you. You could also try the HG Forum but you will need to register and jump through a few hoops which are unfortunately required to combat the spam we were getting.
