Brian Fargo (Yup that Brian Fargo, created Wasteland, Fallout etc etc), is trying to create a Wasteland 2 using Kick Starter:

[FONT=Verdana, Arial]Wasteland 2 is the direct sequel to the first ever post-apocalyptic computer RPG. The original Wasteland was the inspiration for the FALLOUT series of games, and the first RPG to allow players to split parties for tactical considerations, to face players with moral choices, and to make them deal with the consequences of their actions. It was the first to provide far more than the one-key-for-one-lock style of puzzle solving. It was groundbreaking, which is why IGN named it one of the top 25 PC games of all time, Computer Gaming World named it the Adventure Game of the year in 1988, and it was short-listed for inclusion in the Smithsonian Institution’s current “Art of the Computer Game” exhibition.

It has already raised almost 150k in the last few hours.

Never played the original, though it sounds like a game I'd be interested in. I'm just excited that more games are being developed through use of Kickstarter. I think it's such a fantastic method.
