The Hand

Arcade Video game published 44 years ago:

The Hand (c) 1981 T.I.C.

You are a 'Hand' and so are your enemies. Each hand can be Rock (A fist), Paper (Flat) or Scissors (2 fingers extended). Your job is to clear a maze of dots to move to the next level. If you touch an enemy and your 'hand' beats his, you win (You got me!) and score points, and the enemy hand is sent home. Having the same 'hand' makes for a tie (We are even. Bye bye!), causing you and the enemy to pass through each other. Having a losing hand causes you to lose your current turn.
