I'd actually really like to do something similar to Doom engine games.  I'd like
nothing more than a high-quality, cross-platform Doom engine that runs all 5
games as Lua code.  (The 5 games being Heretic, Hexen, Doom, Doom 2, and
Strife... with all relevant expansion packs)

I've been screwing with Heretic and Hexen for about 5 years now, off and on. 
Actually doing something useful with them would be just about the coolest thing
ever.
