In case you missed it, the official SpaceVenture Kickstarter project page is alive. The Kickstarter project for SpaceVenture, a collaboration between the original Space Quest creators in the same vein as the original Space Quest series, aims to secure enough funding to get the project going. If it succeeds, there will be a Mac version!
It’s only been a few days, and they are already over 20% of the way to their goal, with 32 days left in the campaign.
The game is expected to be available in February of 2013. It will be available for Mac, PC, Linux, iPad, and Android tablets.
The Kickstarter reward tiers are interesting, to say the least. $15 will get a copy of the game.
