Keep in mind - for this to happen, fans of the series must be willing to fund it. They need to reach their funding goal (did they mention what it will be?).

I have only played one Tex Murphy game (a really old one which left me confuseled) but I will support this in the $100 range just to keep old school adventure games coming, to continue supporting great games without interference from meddling publishers, and to reward the passion and support of the adventure community.

But - beyond me, does Tex Murphy have enough fans to get the support needed? Tex Murphy doesn't have the name power of Interplay (Brian Fargo) and certainly not Tim Schafer (Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Full Throttle...not to mention Psychonauts and Brutal Legend).

Are old school gamers and adventure game fans ENOUGH to make this happen? Are there enough Tex Murphy fans out there?

I certainly hope so, but I'm worried. (I also worry when we'll reach KS fatigue, but I hope it's not for a long, long, long, long time.)

I truly believe Kickstarter is the greatest website Q@$(%* ever.
