The connections to games go back even further! It's well known that "Spacewar!" was one of the first video games.
Porting "Spacewar!" and also authoring Space Travel was an important part of the history of Unix as well.

In response to this postMuch of Spritely's tech is extrapolated from the designs pioneered in the E Programming Language http://erights.org/
But E comes from Electric Communities Habitat... a p2p distributed virtual world system which could run untrusted code and had user-run economies... in 1997! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNiePoNiyvE
Spritely's tech is a big lift. Goblins is a distributed programming environment! It's not a trivial thing to design.
For this reason, the first serious program testing and using Goblins' tech was Terminal Phase, a space shooter that runs in a developer terminal!
It was a robust test on its own!
