It definitely sounds like a good idea to me.

As for what system to use....that's a tough one. AD&D is the most well-know and widely used system, but not the greatest in terms on game play mechanics. Palladium is a step up from AD&D, but I'm not sure if it would work any better for this purpose. I've never played GURPS, so I can't really comment on it. The thing is, not every RPG system is right for every game world. The idea of a "universal system" is utter bull.

Right of the top of my head, I would say that the White Wolf system (Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Wraith, etc.) might be good for the Z-Files world. It's easy to use, easy to create characters for, and the rules from....say, Vampire....could be easily adapted to represent the Z-Files world.

Of course, you could always do what I usually do and create a system tailor-made for the world, but I guess it wouldn't be a conversion then. :-)

I'll think on it some more. Maybe I'll come up with something. Then again, maybe I'll fail and just fall asleep....
