Back during the mid-90s, most of my software was written in C, with a little assembly language here and there for speed. At this point, I only used C++ if execution speed wasn't an issue. The Palace included an interpreter for a scripting language, loosely based on Forth, called iptScrae. The iptScrae interpreter was written in C.

I imagine they will have to use use or construct a software emulator. No, although playing the software itself could prove to be quite a puzzle for the eventual finders.

What an incredible achievement that few of us can ever hope to accomplish. Did you include any puzzles on the DVD to stump the Martians? The "Oracle of Batboy" would have been a better representation of our species, IMO. :) Congratulations! What an incredible achievement that few of us can ever hope to accomplish.
