There was a game way back on the TRS-80(?) - I think it might have been called "robots" - and you had to program these robots to do things based on logic gates... (I can't recall the details, but surely some HNer will)

It would be cool to have a CPU/GPU/Circuit design game that literally made a game out of designing logic gates and instructions as a game - but based on real-world circuit design....

Do you mean Robot Odyssey: https://slate.com/technology/2014/01/robot-odyssey-the-harde... ?

As for your idea, Zachtronics had one for a while, but it was flash, so I don’t know if it still exists.

YUP!!!!

Thats the one

I thought you meant TIS-100 which is also a game by Zachatronics where you write a basic assembly to solve puzzles:
