I'll give someone else a chance to try one. I'm not very good at pitching the obscurity quite right  ;)

That's a great downloadable game called DEFCON, which coincidentally has the coolest subtitle ever; 'Everybody Dies'. That would fit with practically any multiplayer game you can think of.  :P

Buy it. The guys at Introversion Software deserve it.

Can someone else do the next screenshot, though? I can't be bothered rooting through my (sizeable) stack of games.

[EDIT]
Wait, I may have the perfect one that I just realised I have. Wait one moment...

Ok here it is.
It's probably one of the better indie puzzle games I've played. I don't know if anyone here has heard of it, but if you haven't, shame on you!

Yeah, I've no idea either but I'd love to play it  :D
Can't wait to find out, one way or another.

SpaceChem, Zachtronics Industries.

Infiniminer was the predecessor of Minecraft. Ruckengineur is also fun. So's CoAE, EotP, that circuit-thing and the rest of the games he's made.

Someone else can post this time.

Very good, Pilchard. I was planning a big reveal, but you got there first...

If you want to play it, you can download the demo/buy the full game either on the official website:
http://www.spacechemthegame.com/
or on Steam:

Started rushing through the tutorial stages last night without (apparently) paying enough attention. Got confused when my first effort wouldn't start because of an atom collision warning. I think I'm going to have to pay more attention to the first two stages  :D

The first battle level is fun, though I'm not sure why the storage tanks have a facility to burn all the gas inside, particularly when they hold oxygen/methane.

It IS a thinking man's game Widget; you can't simply rush through it and promptly forget what the tutorials taught you.
I'm actually stuck on the very last level, which says it all on how hard it gets. Even my logician's brain is failing me at that point... :o

Isn't anyone going to post a new screenshot?

I've been playing some SpaceChem.  Made it through tutorial land so far.  It's pretty cool.  :>  Definitely a very unusual game, and a pretty cool idea.  You can totally imagine programming nano-scale logic controller chips like this in the far off future, to process atoms...
