Core war is a programming combat game, where players make MIPS-like assembly programs to fight eachother for control over a virtual system.

For a more action and arena-like variant, RobotWar was released in 1981 for the Apple II, by the creator of Castle Wolfenstein.

This game (which actually first appeared in the 70's) went on to become a small genre of related games, like Core War.
