I'd like something that is probably much cheaper to produce, A scenario book with everything (or at least 90%) of King of Dragon Pass. Include all of the minor scenarios, and a whole bunch of charts saying scenario A leads to B leads to C, with branch points and rough probabilities.

I could have my players run two sets of characters, one of elders, and another of young punks.

I'd also love a coffee table book with the art. ("you discover a duck village, here is what it looks like")

I've spent some time playing the computer game, and I love all the details, and the heroquest stories, and the art, but I just can't convince my brain to take computer games seriously.

Alternatively, just add a hundred hours documenting the source code, and sell it for the same cost as the game, and I'll extract the scenarios out of the code. (But I would guess that that is a smaller market:-)
