Some things never die.
Reading through a source for early video game dev knowledge and skills, the C64'er 1986 fourth special issue, on adventure games.
A chapter on ✨ artificial intelligence ✨ starts with a Basic listing for a digital version of NIM and proceeds to state how important the book "Gödel, Escher, Bach" was for the preparation of the issue's content. Later, there is a listing and an analysis of Eliza as well as how to write an advanced text-parser.
Already present in this special issue is the discourse on formulating the machine as a quasi-human counterpart.
