Many games have. Neverwinter Nights (and descendents like the Witcher), Dragon Age, Jade Enpire implemented their own byte code scripting language.

Fun fact, for the console port of Dragon Age: Origins the scripts were cross compiled to cpp.

Many games have their own scripting system with or without byte code. This is however not the same as Another World where the entire game is implemented on top of a small VM.
