Gary Owens is mandatory, imo. Even if the first few SQ games had no voice. 
 
But of all the Sierra adventure series out there I spent most of my time enjoying Leisure Suit Larry, and that one's already been kickfunded. I'll keep my eye on this one, but I don't think I'd really wanna play a humorous space adventure in this day and age without Roger Wilco exploiting my nostalgia.

The voice talent they have is great, and while I enjoyed the previous games, have they done any projects in the many many years since the last Space Quest game?

I got the same feeling when looking at the Leisure Suit Larry kickstarter, personal feelings about Al Lowe aside, he hadn't done a game in decades. When I put my $100+ per towards DoubleFineAdventures, Ogre, Republique, Shadowrun, Wasteland, etc... I knew that I was getting people and companies that were still capable of making games along with the nostalgia.

We don't need this duplicate thread. If the first one fell down you don't get to make another one, it's not fair to the other members of this forum.
