In the history of computer games, there may be only one whose retail packaging boasted that it contained the power of LISP [via Mutiny on #infoanarchy].
It's Abuse, of course.
Posted by jjwiseman at October 02, 2002 05:50 PM'maybe you can revive the lisp used in the old "abuse" game? (i'd offer pointers, but i'm sort of afraid of typing "lisp abuse" into a search engine. :-)'

Better be careful what you're looking for (-:
Posted by: Andreas Fuchs on October 4, 2002 12:26 AMEh, if anybody wants it, Abuse is GPL'ed. You can get the source ported to the http://www.libsdl.org/index.php SDL libraries (cross-platform multimedia) http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~trandor/abuse/ here.
Another prominent example of Lisp in games is everyone's favorite Naughty Dog Software. Although you can't make add-ons for their games, and they don't advertise Lisp on the packaging, they do brag about it on their http://www.naughtydog.com/jak_N_dax/team/team_05.htm#" webpage and in http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20020710/white_02.htm articles.
PS - can you give titles to links? The preview swallows my html if I do.
