Support a new version of M.U.L.E for android/iOS/PC/Mac

[techie]

Hey Everyone,
Just thought some of you might want to know about this Kickstarter project to help fund a new version of M.U.L.E for Android/iOS/PC/Mac (sorry no AmigaOS or MorphOS version right now:( )

I know technically M.U.L.E was a C64 game and not really Amiga related but hey there were plans for Deluxe M.U.L.E for the Amiga way back when so there is (sort of) a connection

Anyway if you're interested in donating please check out the Kickstarter campaign here

The problem is that a remake would be done by a company like Gameloft or Zynga, and we'd end up with a Facebook game riddled with microtransactions.

Not sure what you mean by this statement; the whole point of the kickstarter project is to provide the officially licensed company  (which isn't zynga) with the funds to create a tribute version of M.U.L.E (called Alpha Colony) for PC/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS. This version builds on the concept of M.U.L.E extending it with new features.

At the same time this company has made arrangements to provide a copy of Return of M.U.L.E (trailer here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkzDJnSaZ3Y&feature=channel&list=UL) to anyone who donates to the Alpha Colony Project.  So you end up with a two for one deal.
