Quite an obvious contender for inspiration as is Nomad Gods. The missing third part Masters of Luck and Death however also sounds like a good source of inspiration. AFAIK in MOLAD you tried to become the next candidate for pharoah, perhaps a Myst style game might be possible from it (though it would need some combat resoloution as well)

Certainly a bit different.

And I was less worried about the cost than the idea - that there seems no reason why Glorantha is not just a capable an environment for supporting this kind of game; though whether AD&D is involved in these projects because people want the background or the brand name is probably the kicker as I suspect it is the latter and that Glorantha does not have the same visibility (maybe in a brave new world...)
I guess one of the key points is the difference between games that are uniquely glornathan and those that could be easily done in any generic fantasy setting.
