"Corewars is a simulation game where a number of warriors try to crash
each other while they are running in a virtual computer."
It's a competitive game where each player writes up some AI for their bot,
and they try to wipe each other out.

I believe http://corewars.sourceforge.net/ is the current resource, though
I haven't looked into it in several years. I've never actually been able
to find people to play with/against :P
