If the object of the game is to run software, then how about an MPE shell
for HP-UX?  The instruction set is the same, but the shell would need a
special loader (probably hooked into HPUX if you want to retain code/data
page attributes), intrinsic library emulation, etc, etc.   This is
oversimplification of a solution that crossed my mind a long time ago.
