I solved Robot Odyssey like that.  Here's an excerpt from the wikipedia 
review:

The robots can also be wired up to chips, which provide a convenient and 
reproducible way to program the robots. Various pre-programmed chips are 
scattered throughout the city and range from complex circuits such as a 
wall-hugging chip which can be used to navigate through mazes and 
corridors (one of which is wired to a robot at the beginning) to clocks 
and counters. The player must find out how these chips work themselves, 
as the only information about each chip is a short, and sometimes 
cryptic, description. Additionally, there are predesigned chip files 
stored on the various disks containing the game that can be loaded into 
the in-game chips. The available chips stored in this fashion vary 
depending on the port or version used.

The Innovation Lab can be used to test out circuit designs in the robots 
or create new chips. Chips created in the lab can then be loaded into 
and used in the main game. Loading a chip in the main game will erase 
the previous programming stored in the chip.

Although the game is recommended for ages 10 and up, it can prove to be 
quite challenging even for adults. In terms of educational value, the 
game teaches the basic concepts of electrical engineering and digital 
logic in general.

LOL, it used to say it was the hardezt game in existence.  It's 
educational!  I solved it at age 12.

Towards the end, it would have puzzle descriptions like,  "Solve the 
NAND double flip flop with gravy delight and NOT the signal coming from 
the bandsman."  I'd do something that would sample out to the same thing 
when checked, but much simpler otherwise.
