Y'know, there IS actually a programming thing/game engine (I'm not a programming person, so I don't know the difference) called Lua. It's proprietary to LucasArts (I think) and it was used for Escape from Monkey Island. I believe it was the second generation of the GrimE engine (created for and used in LucasArts' Grim Fandango), with a little SCUMM (used in all the early LucasArts games - Loom, Monkey Island 1 and 2, etc.) mixed in.
