The Apple II has been emulated inside Unreal Engine 4

Seems like this developer is planning to do [0] something similar to what Notch (of Minecraft fame) was working on before [1]. A 3D game (perhaps a shooter) that contains some programmable computer that can be used to interact with the environment (spaceship perhaps). Seemed like a fun idea.

"A computer emulated in a computer — It's an entire computer being emulated inside of a software program — which just goes to show you how much more powerful today's computers are than their forbears."

Wow, that's totally different from every other emulator in the universe how exactly? Is the physics engine in UE doing the simulation at an electron level or why is this supposed to be interesting?

Also, "computercraft" for minecraft basically did this. Sure it was not an AppleII but that does not really matter.
