RLX

RLX is a rogue-like video game engine written in Emacs Lisp that is being ported to Common Lisp.

In addition to the fact that this is a game so it is just plain fun, the author uses emacs as an IDE for creating games using the engine.

Below is a screenshot from Michael’s page. More of Michael’s Emacs Hackery is available here.
