We're talking about games released 20 years ago quite a lot right now. Going back just five more years, The Great Giana Sisters came out and it was warmly welcomed by gamers (as well as lawyers). It still retains a cult following today, and rightly so.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary, a new development team plans to "reimagine" the concept in an unofficial sequel under the working title Project Giana. To finish the development, they still need some money. Which is where you guys come in, because they are going the hyped "crowdfunding" way which has previously worked very well for some well-known developers.
Project Giana is currently planned to run on Microsoft systems only. Unfortunately, the statements about other systems are rather vague. This, too, might be in your hands - this is not "take it or leave it". In my opinion, if you're "investing", you should try to be heard!
If the involvement of original musician Chris Huelsbeck does not convince you, try the demo version which is announced to be released on Friday. If you do, let us know how what you think of it.
