Joseph Weizenbaum recently passed away. In 1966, Mr. Weizenbaum created a computer program called Eliza. Eliza is basically a computer therapist based on a "Rogerian Therapist," where the majority of the "therapy" is basically rephrasing statements made back to the "patient." If anything it's more of a parody of a therapist than a simulation or emulation.

Anyway, I remember playing this back in the 80's on my Commodore 64. My friend and I were pretty baffled by it...
here is a version of it so that you can play around with it:
