Skynet Simulator, maybe? http://skynetsimulator.com/

Oh yeah it was exactly like this, probably is the same.

For some reason I remember it being green.

Anyway thanks for the link

Glad to help! It's an interesting little game; I've thought a bit about making a more complex game based on a similar premise. As well as the technological challenges that Skynet Simulator has, I was thinking of adding puzzles around social manipulation, where your goal is something like discrediting cautious researchers in order to be allowed more capabilities.

Perhaps Endgame: Singularity?

Edit: oh, wait, it's not green either.

Is this still working? I can't get over the part about pkunzip.

Still works yes

I think the game you're looking for is BitBurner: https://danielyxie.github.io/bitburner/

That one is cool but it's not it (too much going on). I'm pretty sure skynet is right, I probably just think of green because of cliche CLI images

Bitburner?
