It's derived from Ron Burkey's unmaintained Virtual AGC at http://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/, which also hosts many of the manuals and related documents.
But if you really want to be cool, you could build a real AGC from scratch: http://klabs.org/history/build_agc/

Notably, it includes some unmanned auto-running missions, and some fictional missions, including a hypothetical manned flyby of Venus using the AGC.
