Well you can the Lisp code of Abuse, which was quite entertaining in the late 90's.

oh

my

you just made my week, month, and year. I've been looking for a practical Lisp-based game design since I was a teen! Dude.

Thank you.

EDIT: THIS IS SO COOL http://abuse.zoy.org/browser/abuse/trunk/data/lisp/guns.lsp

Edit2: Whoops, fixed the link. I meant to link to this lisp codebase, not SICP. :)

Suffice to say, Abuse is amazing. Thanks! This is an absolute gem of a reference for seeing what worked in practice for Lisp-based gamedev. And in 1995 too!
