Without wishing to pee on anybody's parade, there is simply no chance of an "as-is" port of this engine until we have a suffiently advanced 3D API supporting the hardware extensions (pixel shaders and what not) that this and other modern engines depend upon.

It isn't all bad. We have quake 1/2. The developer kits for mods are widely available. I see no reason why either of those engines could not be used to create an "unofficial" TKG followup. It just takes  people who are prepared to make the effort to actually do it.

Hopefully once Nova is out of the door, pixelshaded engines will no longer be out of our reach.
