- JoeDaDude 9y agoYes, Corewar! A programming game going back to ancient times [1]. Corewar had as inspiration the apocryphal story of the Creeper and the Reaper. The Creeper was a real program that would copy itself to other computers. It was probably the first computer worm [2]. The Reaper was then created to also move across computers and delete the Creeper when it was found [3].
