Anyone ever consider porting Descent 1 ?

Every once in a while I bring this up on Zodiacgamer.com and tapland.com but I'd like to try here as well. Descent 1 is one of my all time favorite games and the Tapwave Zodiac would be absolutely perfect to play the game. I was also told that the game is definitely doable in terms of porting. Vilmos, Skeezix, and a few others confirmed it. Interplay released the source code so here is the link to it:

Here is a link to the shareware Demo version of Descent 1:

I hope one day to see someone port this game to the Zodiac. I used to be a master at this game in Multiplayer. Its simply one of the best games made imho.

Thanks,
