The PDP-8 family of minicomputers were built by Digital Equipment
Corporation between 1965 and 1990. The PDP-8 was largely upward
compatible with the PDP-5, a machine that was unveiled on August 11, 1963 at WESCON, and the inspiration for that machine came from two earlier machines, the LINC and the CDC 160. All of these machines were characterized by a 12 bit word with little or no hardware byte structure, typically 4K words of memory, and simple but powerful instruction sets.

The PDP-8/E Simulator displays ominous-looking rows of lights and terminals. However, it's quite an interesting application, and has some impressive functionality when harnessed properly. This emulator is also Carbonized for Mac OS X.
