They're asking for pledges of different dollar amounts, starting at $15. The total $ amount they're looking to reach is $500,000. It's already over $100,000 with 29 days to go. I remember playing the original game when I was 14 on the Commodore 64  Pledge your love!

This looks like a great way to finance projects. Independent projects.

venturebeat.com/2012/04/06/kickstarter-campaigns/ Quote: Kickstarter’s gone vogue. With a single, bold move by Double Fine’s Tim Schafer in early February, the crowdfunding web site propelled itself into the heart of the gaming community. Now, with the signing of the JOBS Act adding additional legitimacy, crowdfunding is poised to become an even bigger force in video games.
Crowdfunding games on Kickstarter lets ambitious, independent developers eschew publisher hurdles in favor of higher financial and creative control. More and more heads within the industry are turning — some of them quite notable, like Twisted Metal creator David Jaffe and Chris Avellone, the lead developer of the classic Planescape Torment — but plenty of amazing projects already eagerly await your perusal. We’ve gathered up some of the most noteworthy here; check them out below!
 Quote: Campaign: Make Leisure Suit Larry come again
Original game: Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards
Current status: $191,900 pledged of $500,000 goal
The premise of the Leisure Suit Larry adventure series hangs in left field at first glance: Players control the balding, double entendre-speaking, 40-something Larry in his pursuit for (unsuccessfully) seducing attractive women. Beyond the camp and alliterative affinity, however, lies a franchise adored by fans for its snappily coarse humor. Series creator Al Lowe joined forces with current rights-holder Replay Games with plans to recreate the first seven games for mobile devices using updated graphics and a modern interface.

That would not make any sense, since they posted this.... Quote: We will shoot Leisure Suit Larry on to additional platforms: XBLA, PSN, Android, iPads, iPhones, Windows Phones, Kindle, Linux and of course, Mac! Make it for the Mac and not the PC where all their loyal fans originally played it?....... Yea' right! The pc was where most gamers were! There was crap for software quantity/quality for the Mac back in the late 80's/early 90's in retail stores. I would never dream of owning a Mac, even today. Did you ever play any of the series Poppin'?
