Time to hit the workshop! Instructables has a great tutorial up that has everything you need: material list, measurements, diagrams, the works. It will take some know-how and skil to pull these off nicely but it might be worth a run. Check out this pic of the final product:

As seen in the comments, Cristy from Instructables sent along a couple other game-related projects:

How to make tetris ice cubes

Toaster Mod: space invaders

(Thanks Cristy!)

Actually, there's a cheaper and easier way to do something with similar results to this.

I made my current bookshelf out of multi-colored milk crates, turned on their sides, that I got for free from my local Wawa and a supermarket. Then I just tied them together with some rope.

[...] El taladro. Niño, quieto con la blakandeke. Que luego hay accidentes. Bueno, ahí queda la advertencia. Por si no he conseguido disuadir a la parroquia manitas, ahí va algo muy interesante, cómo crear tus propias estanterías con la forma de las piezas del Tetris. En la web Instructables, una de las mejores páginas de Internet y parte del extranjero, explican cómo conseguir unas estanterías tipo Tetris. Porque una estantería es probablemente el mueble más importante para cualquier jugón y/o coleccionista. Y si encima se puede rizar el rizo y hacerlo bonito, pues al lío. Por cierto, también cuentan cómo hacer cubitos con la forma de las piezas del Tetris. Los cubatas no volverán a ser lo mismo. [...]

[...] I collect a lot of things — mostly NES games — but a variety of other systems’ games as well, in addition to DVDs, CDs, video game-related toys, some comic books, and so on and so forth. Because of these collections, I have a certain affinity for shelf space. However, as awesome as these DIY Tetris shelves above are, they just aren?t functional enough for today?s modern-day collector. But they’re still pretty cool. Find out how to build them yourself (if you?re into that kind of thing). Posted By: Jason Cipriano @ 12:36 pm Filed under: Toys, Miscellany, Culture, Retro, Art Digg del.icio.us Email Permalink [...]
