Hm, I just got a weird idea for a game (playable by (e)mail even).
Maybe something like this already exists, but here's the idea:

1. A simulator (or emulator) of some obscure machine, possibly
   something that never existed in hardware is set up.

2. A number of players is given the task to configure/run the
   computer remote, by sending orders how to operate the machine
   every turn.

3. The GM lets each player take a shot at the simulator, and the
   output from it is sent back. The final state is also saved for
   next round. This state could be better (or worse, if you made
   a mistake) than your previous one.

4. Players can also attach extra hardware (more resources),
   depending on how far they reached in the configuration process.

5. Whenever the first player manages to get the computer running,
   or has completed whatever other task was set up, (s)he wins the
   campaign.

Nah, I'd better go to sleep.
