While I might not get any answers here, I’m hoping I will. Back a long time ago, I had a Commodore 64, and I had a game for it about chemistry. In the game, you had all sorts of different chemicals and different equipment, and you’d be given missions where you had to make various chemical compounds. In an easy mission, for instance, you’d have to make, let’s say, water, and you’d have oxygen and hydrogen. You’d have to mix them, and get them to combust, and so on.

Of course, I don’t remember the name of this game, so I’m calling on the dope. Does anyone know what this game was?

Sorry, not Atomix. In Atomix you slide the atoms around to make molecules. In my game, you don’t operate on the actual atomic level. Instead, you’re in a lab, with flasks, bunsen burners, and pressure chambers, and you can, for instance, pour hydrochloric acid in a flask in preparation for mixing it with something else, or heating it or cooling it or whatever.

I distantly remember this… Chem Lab?

IIRC, the game also had super-heating and super-pressurization of the test chamber.

That’s it. Thanks.
