Sunglass Man Gold Box Redux

I'm back after, what seems like a long hiatus. Hello to Manikus and Uatu, my erstwhile co-op partners.

I loved the Gold Box games, I thought the old UL engine took these mods as far as it could with some severe limitations. Adventure mods should first and foremost tell a story and the old engine had to rely on printed journals and tavern tales to get its message across. Considering this and the severe graphical limitations of the engine some great stories could not be told as they should have been. I can only wonder how much the Gold Box games could be improved with the DC engine.

I am in position to recreate these mods using DC, I have all the detailed information on each and every Gold Box game ever written. I was going to do this for myself, but I thought that a well re-constructed Gold Box game or two would help stimulate interest for DC.

I am not looking for an cooperative help on the mods although some sage advice from ManiKus and company regarding the inner working of DC and the odd piece of art could help from time to time. Does anyone have a favorite Gold box mod that they would like to see re-created? or, if you don't think this is good idea let me know.
