My college's robotics lab had a robot that played Duck Hunt quite successfully (six years ago; I have no idea if it's still around). Tetris is of course a harder game to play, but the basic concept of hooking together a camera and some servos to a computer to manipulate a game controller hooked up to another computer is not really a new one.
