Atomic

Atomic is a remake of Thalion's game of the same name. It is an awfully hard puzzle game in the vein of Sokoban: You have to arrange the atoms to the molecule depicted on the left. You can move the atoms at will, but they will only stop when they hit something. To make things even more difficult, the valances point into a fixed direction. If, for example, in the first level you have to assemble a water molecule, than you have one left and one right hydrogen atom. You start with simple things like water or methane and move on to more complex molecules.

Philippe Lesire's game is a faithful remake. The logo is the same, the puzzles are the same, there's a portrait of Albert Einstein on the loading screen. What makes it really remarkable is that he did all this in 16 colors, not just any 16 colors, but the standard Windows palette, and made it look a lot better than the Amiga original!

The source code is of a 32-bit port, written in Visual C++ 5.0.

Another game by Philippe Lesire is The Conway of Life.
