No guys, don't do it... : ( Is this how you want to get games jumpstarted in the future?

If it can get cult classic titles the attention they deserve, and classic series the modern revival they need, I don't see the problem with it. It's a good way to truly gauge the commitment of gamers to these games. As has been said, anybody can say "I want this game", but it's something else entirely to put your money where your mouth is. Developers speak in dollar signs, not gamer desires.

Rather than ask fans to pitch in money, why don't they just revive old titles like that again? It's been done before with games like Kid Icarus and Tomb Raider. I can't stop you all, but this seems like a slippery slope to go down...

It isn't like the fans are getting nothing for the money they put in.  They usually get a copy of the game for less then it would cost them to buy it normally.  It is essentially a preorder.  There is nothing wrong with using kickstarter to jumpstart old franchises.  

Hmm, you do have a point there. Though I am not very fond of the idea of using kickstarter to gauge interest in reviving old IPs. Kickstarter looks like a way for small teams to raise funds for a game they would otherwise would not be able to, and not for companies to test the waters....
