Please help the Two Guys from Andromeda, TODAY!

Post by Hatta »

Hey, the Two Guys from Andromeda of Space Quest fame have a kickstarter project that's ending tomorrow (6/12). They need to raise about $28,000 in 28 hours. That's tough but doable.

Double Fine got funded. Al Lowe's Larry remakes got funded. Wouldn't a new Space Quest like game be fantastic too? It would be a shame for them to get so close and not get funded. If you like space games, or adventure games, or funny games, you'll like what the Two Guys do. Throw them a few bucks if you can. Thanks.

Looks like they have raised $475K out of $500K so far.

They made it! They're at $507000 right now with 19 hours left. That was quite a bit faster than the $1000/hr they needed this morning. I seriously didn't think it was going to happen. So glad to see that there's still love for Space Quest out there.

BTW, if you like Space Quest, you should check out some of the commentary the Two Guys did covering the old games. Skip the video, it's borken, but they provide audio.

Anyway, I'm going to go celebrate.

I didnt think it was going to make it either. I am glad that it did, but it should be a lesson to people starting up kickstarters in the future. Engage your audience quickly and it helps if you didnt publicly badmouth your partner a couple years ago...

The subject made me think this was about extraterrestrials. Or Panzer Dragoon.

I'm glad it got funded.

I have the first two Space Quest games and even though I've never beaten them, I like the series' tone and goofy sense of humor.
