Isn't SPICE what you'll usually use for these kinds of things?
http://bwrc.eecs.berkeley.edu/Classes/icbook/SPICE/

And I can totally see how you could build a game around 
building/emulating circuits. Something like a spy that needs to generate 
various effects, and has components to build circuits with to do it. 
Totally cool edu-ware :-)
