Don't recall that, but early WH40K had programmable robots. In WD
100-110
somewhere I think. And I mean REALLY programmable!

You bought these program counters with points, and assempled them into
flowchart -like programs. And that's what your robot did, whether it
made sense or not.

Great fun, especially when someone tried to save on points by skipping
the "is target an enemy figure?" command... A bit cumbersome though...
