Since I'm wont to come up with peculiar ideas to make non-adventures out of AGS, another concept leapt into my mind and started making a mess. Well, first it started with how implement it, which is frankly the easy part. The other bit of my brain thought "how about making it with a crossover of AGS/adventure characters?" After all, that seems to be the big thing these days (Star Wars characters in Soul Calibur, Spartan in Dead or Alive, Snake in Smash Bros., Capcom vs. Everybody, etc).
So, what characters do you reckon would go into a fighting game? I'm sure Cheffie the Chef, with an array of utensils for armaments, could make mincemeat out of anybody (and probably risotto, too).
Oceanspirit Dennis would be a must-have, too.
I'd totally like Prick Peckard. Ben Jordan. Larry Vales. Trilby. Those are must.
I think there was already a game made like this, but with commercial adventure game characters rather than AGS ones.
You'd obviously need Roger, gorilla arms and all.

More (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=705) than one (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=908) actually. There is also another game (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=468) featuring historical figures.
But yeah, they basically didn't star AGS game characters, so it would be extreme fun to have such an idea.
Jake McUrk and Richard Longhurst are must haves!
Joey Mallone, Captain Jack Hardin, and Annie Android.

\\--EDIT--//
I'd like to see PIRATE FRY and CHARLIE FOXTROT in an AGS-themed fighter!
I made a game where Nelly Cootalot totally trashed every other character because she was twice the size. I called it the 2007 AGS Awards ceremony....
HA! I still have that ceremony on my hard drive! It was beautiful!
I still have that ceremony too. I watched it again just before I made OSD: The Wet Spot. I wanted to relive the horror of Nelly's rampage so I could make jokes about it. (Sooner or later, we have to move on and learn to laugh at the tragedy, you see. ;) )
There was a suggestion a few years back to add famous AGS characters as contestants to Quest Fighter (so you could e.g. have Larry Vales beating up King Graham). As I recall, several people liked the idea, but there weren't many game authors willing to have their sprites used for this purpose.
Any nude females drawn by Ponch would be welcome in the game, (especially for Captain Jack!). Something like this would require a pretty large collaborative effort with an animation list and basic dimensions given to all the contributors so the results aren't just completely chaotic.
