The Tierra virtual life simulation from the early 90s exhibited some interesting, life-like behaviors. Parasitism was one of the early, and unexpected results of letting snippets of randomly mutating code operate. At times, the simulated primordial soup consisted primarily of virus-like entities, dependent upon others for their existence.
