We don't need any more shells.  The TI-92 scene is very peaceful and nice, only
one shell.  What would be the point of making 10 new shells, except to confuse
everyone futher?  And I bet a shell based on a game engine would be very
bloated... and what's the point of porting Ash/CrASH programs to OS-82?  No one
uses OS-82 anymore...
