Another fun one is Droid (@.DROID.GAMES) where you write a program to define the behavior of your droid in a kind of assembly language, then compile it and pit it against other droid programs (or additional instances of yours) in a simulator where they fight to the last survivor. It has a rather large manual too.

We have of course all the classic Minicomputer games like Adventure, Dungeon (he original Zork), and some HP exclusives like Warp which is another adventure game on the scale of Zork/Dungeon written by a couple HP people, and of course who could forget Mystery Mansion.
