Make Leisure Suit Larry come again!

For a new game, maybe. For a remake? No.

Think of it as a chance to actually "pay" for the game that so many people pirated..  ;-)

Not that I'm saying you pirated it...  Just for those who maybe did (and you know you're out there, Sierra sold more hint books than copies of the game)!

:-)

I was disappointed it was only a re-make, but at only $15 I figured it was worth it to encourage the good developers to keep going...
Now, I pirated it originally.  However, I did eventually buy a copy.  But it was used, so no money went to Al..  This is my way of getting him his share.  ;-)

Another variation on the theme is Jane Jensen's kickstarter:

She and her husband are also Sierra alums. (Gabriel Knight series and others)
Although she's not doing a game per se, she's doing a few games by her company during the year..
Interesting.  I haven't pulled the trigger on that one yet, but I'm watching it and waiting for more information on the games...

I probably will, again mostly to support the game designers whose work I really enjoyed...

..then go back to BF3 on my gaming PC, bored stiff.

That would be boring, I agree..  BF3?  
Ok, I admit, I haven't played it but let me take a wild guess...
First Person Shooter??  :razz:

Seriously, to each his own..
I liked a few FPS games..  But as with you and adventure games, I got pretty bored after a bit..  Been there, done that..
Adventure/Role Playing tho, that can keep my interest.
That's why I like those games...

And, weirdami, "nobody is going to buy"??
Have you seen how many people have already bought it?  Over 5000 already.  
Yes, it's not millions.  But it's not nobody.

A small market is still a market..

Although it might be age here too...
Adventure games (for me) predate the Amiga...
I go back to Apple II (didn't own, but had a friend who did) and C64 gaming nostalgia for these games..
People who were teenagers when the Amiga was around missed some of that early gaming mystique..

Heck, I miss games that require manuals and notepads..  ;-)
(I don't miss codewheels tho)
