Moduala-2 was invented before preemptive multitasking and multi-threading. It accomplishes something kinda like those technologies but does so on single-core CPUs in environments designed for single threads. Though possibly not ideal for action games, Moduala-2's coroutines (concurrent processes) are well suited for certain types games such as simulations and chess.

The Russian equivalent of GPS has satellites programmed using Modula-2.
