Google is late to the party. I own at least 3 different video games from random "Indie" devs that do this.

    Gridworld comes to mind. I'd be interested in learning of others https://store.steampowered.com/app/396890/Gridworld/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/396890/Gridworld/

    Probably something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatures_(1996_video_game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatures_(1996_video_game) Many others mentioned here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_simulation_game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_simulation_game

    The most interesting one is https://store.steampowered.com/app/774541/Species_Artificial_Life_Real_Evolution/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/774541/Species_Artificial... but that doesn't actually do abiogenesis, it starts with a "primordial" species. There are older games (don't have my steam account on my work computer) that have much simpler starting states but they are abandoned or just not worth the price. "I wrote a program to evolve life" is a super popular toy programming challenge as well, and you can find good and bad examples on youtube.
