Not the same game but if you like that genre zachtronics is really good at logic games and has assembly programming. https://zachtronics.com/tis-100/

>Build circuits using a variety of components from different manufacturers, like microcontrollers, memory, and logic gates. Write code in a compact and powerful assembly language where every instruction can be conditionally executed.

>Read the included manual, which includes over 30 pages of original datasheets, reference guides, and technical diagrams.

I didn't know an assembly game could be made, it's a pretty hard game only progammers and very logical people would enjoy.

Well, if Zachtronics is mentioned, then worth pointing out that the older games fit the CPU manufacturing theme better. He had a game literally called "Silicon Foundry" which used premade blocks, and then KOHCTPYKTOP which got more into the nitty gritty
I think the problem with zachtronics games is that many people feel "I would rather program at this point", did you ever feel that way too?
