I hope it'll turn out better than VegaStrike.

Some Serenity-ish flair might be cool, btw.

Looks like it has already met its funding goal.

I find it interesting that seemingly 'niche' stories like this end up on the
major news outlets; just saw it on the BBC.

Probably because Braben has some mates at the BBC - it made the front 
page of our local Cambridge rag too.

Fitting enough; not only did the original game make computer history - 
it was also originally written for the BBC Micro (Model B) computer :-)

It did? That shows how far out of the loop *I* am, when it comes to gaming. Like
Stephen, I never play 'em. But Kickstarter seems to be *full* of game projects.

it ends and I received a newsletter saying "Project Update #33: Update 
#33 - We are making a Mac version, and we're record breaking!"
So it looks like Mac users will get a shot too.

A workmate of mine had the BBC Micro version and he raved so much about 
it that it stuck in my mind.

I don't play them because I am duff at them. But I do like to see pretty

can't seem to wait that next one year...
