I remember having a similar "tool" when I was a kid (I'm pretty sure it was on MS-DOS, and I suspect it wasn't actually a game but I'm not completely sure, this was a long time ago). Had many kinds of gates, 8-leds, blinkers. I still remember the thrill of building an adder out of simpler gates, only knowing that I wanted something that could "add".

Was it called "Rocky's Boots"? That's what this brought to mind. You could take components from room to room to solve puzzles. As I recall it was kind of self-documenting, in that you just had to figure out from examples what problem they were posing.

No, I vaguely recall it being "Electronic Workbench", but googling for it only brings Windows versions, it was definitely a MS-DOS tool. Maybe I can still find the disks somewhere
