I just tested it on a Quadra, and it worked, so it will probably
work on a Performa.  It's an interesting-looking game.  16-color, 
kinda rough graphics, but it's indeed easy to program the robots.
There's a programming phase, then a "watch 'em go" phase, which
lends itself well to multi-player games (e.g. two people can play
on the same computer, since the programming phase is separate from
the actual battle).  I think multi-player would be a lot more
interesting than playing against the computer.
