I've been working on this project on and off for a few years and finally got it polished for release. The heavy lifting is all done by a Google Web Toolkit engine and the front-end is straight JS/jQuery.
Rather than port the game itself, I spent a while re-implementing a somewhat generic ACODE interpreter. This is easier said than done: much of the ACODE specification is documented by one or two uses in the actual game and some of it is only available in the original FORTRAN.
The game itself is incredibly difficult and unforgiving. Enjoy! :)
