I built an iPhone game with Scheme, and I have to say, it was the best debugging/development environment I've ever had.

Can you elaborate? Is the game in the app store? Github? What dev environment did you use?

The Jak and Daxter series (PS2) was also written (almost?) entirely in Lisp, too.

There is a small list of games (and other applications) written using Gambit-C Scheme at:

Thanks for sharing this link. I'm giving a talk on Lisp and computer games at my university in less that two weeks from today. It's great to have more examples to share.

BTW. Abuse is a half-C, half-Lisp game.

Haven't you ever unlocked Lambda Mario? I thought this was pretty clear... ;)
