There's also a working PDP-10 console replica you can buy.[1]
There was a really nice IBM 1401 data center simulator written in Unreal Engine at [1]. You could mount tapes, punch cards, push buttons, and actually operate the machine. But the site is gone. There's some archived material.[2] But even his Youtube videos are now "Private". Here's someone else running his simulator.[3]
Very cool! What are the most interesting things I could do with these? I know there are a few old games but what else worth pursuing? Payroll simulator? :)

I hope the simulator hasn't been lost.
