Several of us already tried that. He said, that he has rights to make W2, but there must be aproval from EA to sell W1.

No. This is purely money from backers. They can't back the project themselves through Kickstarter. I haven't read the rules, but I'm 99% that would be against them, seeing as they only receive the money from backers if they meet their funding target.

It's possible, but the Double Fine adventure made twice as much as the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter during the first 24 hours. It should be interesting to compare how the two campaigns perform after the initial spike in contributions.

Well, we have D&D games, right. But we still don't have System Shocks. So, fifty fifty?

Would it be worth checking out a copy of the original of questionable legal status? ... I'm just curious to see what the hoopla is all about, even though I've already pledged money for the project. There's literally no way to buy this thing, unless EA decides to maybe release it here (unlikely). Okay, so I saw a single C64 copy on eBay, but that ain't helping much.

With more than a million (hopefully) they will be able to create a better game.
Now since I didn't play the original, maybe somebody could also tell me, what made the original outstanding from all other RPGs. Was it the story of a post-apocalyptic world? Or was there more to the gameplay? A special humor maybe?
What do you think will Wasteland 2 make different from Mass Effect or Dragon Age or Skyrim ... apart from smaller budget and crowd financing?
Sitting at $768000+ atm

But why want people another old school rpg game? I just wonder, what exactly was so great about them? And do people really want to do without all the new school rpg features?
Running around for ages searching for someone to be able to buy things in your weight and slot limited inventory who then has not enough gold to pay for everything, emptying dungeons after dungeons, quests running from one point to another killing characters or monsters or zombies in between. It's more or less included in every rpg.
In the end the difference between a good rpg and a bad one is somehow not so much in the system but in the details of the actual realization. You probably have to talk about all these little things if you want to make a point.
