Sorry to revive an ancient thread... I'm a fairly competent game-dev; and I think I might be able scrub the animations from the swf files, and put together a functionally similar game using c++. My only real concern is with the legality - last thing I'd want is a lego-lawsuit.
Not gonna make any huge commitments, but I am definitely going to make some sort of attempt.
Does anyone happen to have a good transcription of all the dialogue / dialogue trees? That'd definitely be handy to have.
Also, should I try to emulate the original version of MNOG or the updated one? (for example, I *personally* liked having to pick up the lightstone, but some places have listed that as a positive change so... :P)
