I went through this same wave of nostalgia about a decade ago and successfully transferred the first real program I wrote [1] when I was just 10yo. I still have my beloved TRS-80 Color Computer (don't you dare call it trash!!) and the cassette tapes which the program was stored on, and was able to import it into an emulator so I could play with it and print out the program.
At one point I had the idea of converting it to JavaScript, but I have almost zero idea how it works. BASIC is truly bewildering! Trying to follow the logic as it bops around from line to line is nuts. I'd basically have to rewrite the thing from scratch.
(Bonus picture of the big TRS-80 sticker I put on my new MacBook. Makes it look just like the original silver model!! [2])
