The text and programs are from a book published in the 80's. It was a series of 10 books I think.

Yup, this is an emulator for a book published in the 1980s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Adventure (part of a series of 10, looks like the emulator has 6 of the books already!).

I remember seeing these books in my elementary school library decades ago (pre-PC ubiquity) and wondering what to do with them.

The first programs I ever wrote were from one of these books.
