Four in a row game.

My brother is addicted on small funny games so he decided to build a four in a row game. The game is controlled by a PIC microchip 18F252 controller and you can play against one of your friends, while the PIC keeps track of games won and who's turn it is. I must say I am very pleased with the finished result.
Below you can see some pictures of the design (click on the picture to enlarge it):
