I wrote a small script to load Hamurrabi.bas onto my Apple-1 replica over serial and to play against it interactively, as a sort of screensaver.
Though I played this as a kid, I learned some interesting anti-mechanics by writing an "automatic player", that I can still get the highest rating by systemically starving 3% of the population each year, and that there is no need to leave any food in store for the successor after your final turn, and that losing half of the population to plague is actually in your favor.
