I'm not sure about the year that goes with the various examples people mentioned. DOS
implies 1980s. Apollo ditto.
PLATO started in 1961, though the current generation (PLATO IV) with the full graphics
plasma panel terminals is from the early 1970s.

Something in another recent thread about LISP machines got me wondering:
how many early graphical systems are well emulated (or emulated at all)? I
know that there are more or less functional emulations of Alto, Star, and
Lisa out there, but what about the various LISP machines or the early
workstations (Sun 68K, Apollo, etc) Also, assuming that there are emulators
for some of these systems out there, has any software to run on them and
been archived?

One system that could be considered a GUI, or at least the beginnings of one, is the
PLATO system. Emulations of that are alive and well, in particular the system described
at cyber1.org.
