Turbo Pascal is even still available as its originators took it back from Borland and made it into Visual Prolog for Windows which has a free personal edition (the commercial license is only 100 euros too). Also there's GNU Prolog if you just want to futz around with Prolog.
I wrote a large application in Turbo Pascal in 1996 or so, and it had been cast adrift since then. The computer it ran on was getting old and I was worried it would die, and then I discovered FPC (Free Pascal Compiler). It was designed to port over Turbo Pascal and DEC Pascal programs, and took the separate compilation directives like uses and $I. I was able to get that program running on a Linux system in a few days.
