Yeah I wrote one when I was in high school (on a PDP-10 running ITS in fact).
Don't get me wrong: I doubt it was enough enough to run a BASIC implementation but the 8080 instruction set is so simple that I was able to write a few simple bit-manipulation programs and believe they worked. I'm sure Allen's was much more capable, but it would not have needed to do any of the things expected of a modern emulator (timing, cache, complex addressing modes, interrupts...)
