Age of Empires 1 had AI scripts that were written as production rules in a very Lisp-like syntax. (You can still find some online.)

Not sure if they integrated a full Lisp or Scheme system, but since the rules were not arbitrary source code, nor doing unification, etc., they could have just hand rolled a custom reader, and written the rule engine itself in C...
