Obsidian was the most amazing game I have yet played (though I've only = played a few), and was the first time I had heard of nanotechnology. I = just received my engineering B.S., and my wife said, "does that kind of = thing exist?" At first, I thought that they had completely made it up. = After a couple of weeks I decided to search the web for it, and I = stumbled onto Drexler and Merkle's sites. Within a couple of months I = had purchased and read most of Nanosystems, and I was convinced. Last = week I changed my major to Chemical Engineering (PhD), and plan to work = with molecular dynamics simulations of nanoparticles so that I'll be = ready for a career in nanotechnology if it is developed anytime soon. = And I have Obsidian to thank for it all.

You may want to add to your list "Obsidian" by Segasoft = (www.segasoft.com)
for the PC/Win95 platform.

The games' premise involves a high degree of nanotech. Definitely worth a review!
