From the Virtual AGC homepage: “The purpose of this project is to provide an emulation of the Apollo guidance computer, along with some ancillary items needed to make the emulation do something interesting. “Interesting” is, of course, a subjective notion, and there are plenty of additional components one might want to add to the simulation to make it more interesting.”

Editor’s note: The MIT people behind this project could use some help from anyone who is familiar with Apollo computer systems. Meanwhile you can download what they have been working on.
