Play the Apple II version at archive.org.

The GW-BASIC port by Oscar Toledog:  https://nanochess.org/akalabeth.html

BAM version, tweaked just enough to get (seemingly) working:
I might create a version tweaked to my liking.  At least visual cues on the screen to know what key presses do what.

As is, Akalabeth does run under QB64... I was going to eventually tweak it to replace the graphics with tile graphics taken from Ultima 1, and tweak the controls to match the standard keys the Ultima games used. Another project for the backburner! 

Speaking of TiddlyWiki and its features, running BASIC code on the Web, and using it to script TiddlyWiki, here is a thread where we were discussing adding tagging to these forums. I was musing how adding TiddlyWiki-like features and the ability to program custom plugins in BASIC to these forums could make them all that more useful...
