I had a similar experience with a BASIC game I wrote in 1987, which I revived recently in an emulator - the code itself was copied directly from ancient hard-sectored 5.25" floppy disks into a virtual disk image.
The emulator had a bug in it, though-- it would scroll up the entire terminal if the static 25th line ended with an Enter or line feed, something that didn't happen on the original H/Z-89 hardware. I fixed the game by adding a single semicolon to the end of the PRINT statement.
I wrote a little bit about the game and my feelings on reviving it here: https://jeremyreimer.com/rockets-item.lsp?p=282 https://jeremyreimer.com/rockets-item.lsp?p=282
