Rob Paulsen? Sweet. I'm surprised just how many of the old adventure game designers are on Kickstarter now. Let's see, we've had Jane Jensen, Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer, Al Lowe, whoever did Tex Murphy...

Just missing Roberta Williams now I guess. I might chip in on the Two Guys From Andromeda though. I really liked the Space Quest games as a kid. I've only opted for Tim Schafer and the Shadowrun Kickstarters.

EDIT: You know what I would really like to see? More of the Laura Bow games. I liked those games because you actually had to figure out the answers to the mystery from the clues. Although, the replay value from that aspect is pretty limited but it's still primarily a grab everthing and combine adventure game. The first one, Colonel's Bequest, is really good because it has timed elements. Scenes move on through the game as time passes which you may or may not catch. Kind of like the self-contained universe they did for Last Express.

This is awesome! Definitely supporting this.

I don't think Roberta will be jumping in. According to Ken, she's happily retired.

Did I miss anything? I hope this whets your appetite, shows you how ridiculously hardworking and imaginative these guys have been and makes you want to pledge or up that pledge!

 

[Craig234]

Over $80K needed with 3 days left.

I just found out about this from a friend and pledged my $15. I have massive nostalgia for the Space Quest games. Really hoping this gets made!! It's up to $461K now.

 

[Craig234]

Only hours to go to get $40K.

That's one thing about kickstarter, it cancels the project if it hits 95% of funding?

 

[Martimus]

Space Quest 3 was the first PC game I remember playing. I am considering increasing my pledge by 100 dollars for this. I don't know though.

 

[Craig234]

Only $6k to go, 21 hours.

Martimus, you might only do it if you want the extras - or wait until closer.

 

[birthdaymonkey]

Looks like they made it with time to spare.

Wow...TF2 Sniper is married to GLaDOS!

 

[Chiefcrowe]

Loved this series when I was a kid, it was one of the first games I played!!
So, I had to support this. hope it's as good as the old games were!

Wow...TF2 Sniper is married to GLaDOS!

I thought their age was surprising as well...
