Help me, hivemind! In 1990ish I played a robot arena game in which players wrote programs (language a bit like Logo) controlling robots......vaguely remember it being called "Robot Arena" but many games of that name. Anyone recall it? Is the game still available?
You're going to have to be more specific. I can think of a dozen games that fit that description... with the full spectrum of bastard-BASIC to bastard-assembler, and tile graphics to vector graphics.
I wasted so much time with RoboCom.. I love that game! I learned how to program with it, like, really, that was the very first programming language I ever learned. And now, look at me, full time job as a programmer for soon to be 10 years, writing a blog about programming, taking a vacation to work on a personal programming project..
