Reminds me of the 1987 “Wireworld”, of course Wikipedia has an article [1]. I’ve seen 8-bit counters implemented in wireworld, which is quite something, though this looks a bit more … succinct.

I find Zach(tronics)'s take on this in KOHCTPYKTOP much more pleasing somehow.

Of course, it's difficult to play now, since the webpage [1], and steam version relied on flash, and you have to fiddle with a 3rd party flash reimplementation.

But its implementation of semiconductor behaviour is much better than wireworld's.

There's a newer version of this in Last Call BBS called Chip Wizard. Much smaller grid makes for more puzzlyness.
