I'm also working on a project (a classic arcade port) with svgalib and
the graphics library it comes with.  I've had good results so far.
There's a 3d demo file that comes with the svgalib package, so it's
certainly possible to do one.  I seem to recall seeing an engine
called 'wc' -- I haven't actually looked at it, but you might take a
look at the source code.  It's probably at sunsite.unc.edu at
/pub/linux/games/, but might be in a subdirectory somewhere.
 
Hope this helps.
