SpaceVenture, my biggest Kickstarter disappointment

This has been brewing for some time now. This is a write up of a Kickstarter project, undelivered to this date, in the making for a bit over 5-years now. To be in more fact, it passed its 5-year anniversary on June 12th, 2017, making the original point of being successfully funded in now so distant 2012. The project in question managed to raise $530k, that is over half a million dollars, and yet, it's not yet done. I am talking about my biggest disappointment in crowdfunding, the SpaceVenture-project by the former Space Quest-developers Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy.

Let me give some history here. Back in the day, the Two Guys From Andromeda, that is Murphy and Crowe, broke up after Space Quest 4. They both were individually involved in the two later SQ games, Crowe on SQ5 and Murphy on SQ6, but they never did work together, as they had fallen out and didn't come along together at that time. To everyone's surprise, the spat that lasted nearly two decades was put aside on 20…

Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: Infinities Volume 1 (various makers)

Infinities collection Volume 1 is Star Wars in a way like you've never seen it before. The first three stories it has, cover the three original movies, giving them a twist: in the New Hope Luke fires at the Death Star but doesn't destroy it, causing empire to capture Leia and allowing Darth Vader and the Emperor to start corrupting her to the dark side. In the Empire Strikes Back, Luke dies in hypothermia at planet Hoth, which leads Leia to be trained to be balance the force needs and finally in the Return of the Jedi destruction of C-3PO puts a dent in the rescue operation of Han Solo, which escalates into Han losing his sight and Yoda dying before Luke gets back to Dagobah.

While the first three stories are interesting, none of them is particularly amazing. They're not bad, and all of them have some solid ideas in them, but they don't manage to rise above a notion of "well, that's a cute idea". What really makes the collection worthwhile is the adaptat…

The New Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia

Back in the early '90s, when CD-ROM drives, which have ages ago faded away from computers from the way of DVD and Blu-ray drives, heralded an age of multimedia. This technology that had finally begun to find its way to consumer computers offered means of providing previously unparalleled amounts of data for the common computer users, especially in the contrast of ages dead format of floppy disks. While the format itself had already been introduced back in 1982, it took its time to become cheap enough to finally push itself through.

I can't rightfully say what the discussion around CD-ROM as a format was back in the 1980s, as I was pretty young back then and didn't really follow nor was I even aware of such mediums beyond floppies or cassette tapes. CD-ROMS were just some tech that was at times featured as a tech flavour in movies like James Bond (I think it was featured at least on License to Kill, even as a writable format when Bond copies files to disc), but other than …
