Magic Wand Clock hacked with propeller as controller

I just wrote up a hack I did a few months ago to one of those POV novelty clocks where I used the prop to control the LEDs.
The little write up is here (with pictures and video):

Also, check out the previous post on my blog, where I used stereo sound to produce video on an analog scope:
hotwigati.blogspot.com/ (also has video and lots of pictures)
The awesome thing about the sound->graphics is that it uses vector rather than pixel-based graphics - it's a real paradigm shift (for those of us stuck in digital land!)
I will (soon) use the stereo sound output on the propeller to control the scope graphics, and maybe port someone's asteroids clone to that graphics system!
Any suggestions for games that might look *amazing* as vector graphics on an old scope?
Tell me what you think,
Chris
