    If I understand correctly it first needs a developer interested in doing it.

    People bind keys to speed up the game instead. I've used it myself, it's pretty handy (+ to make the game rune at much faster speed).

    Well, Anarchronox is kind of a cult game even outside of the codex.

    Anyway, Tom should totally use that way.

    Wait, what? They still own Fear Effect? FFS, man, now we need 2 companies to rise from the ashes.

    Speaking of Anachronox:
    Unfortunately, despite cult following, Anachronox still sold like shit. I doubt crowdfunding will resurrect it.
    Just look at Outcast HD remake Kickstarter to understand what I'm talking about.

    It's time to contact the only source of hope for the current generation of hardcore gamers, that has experience in listening to the fans and staying true to the roots of the franchises...

    ...of course I'm talking about Bethesda Softworks.

    Considering the Outcast thing is one of the possible worst Kickstarters to ever have existed I don't think that's a remotly relevant argument as well.

    Square would probably add some additional exposure as well.

    Recall the latest Tom Hall's attempt to create a 'super oldskool rpg project' and other attempts on Kickstarter.
    I think he has probably lost his touch.

    A bad Kickstarter banking on nothing with an additional John Romero (And the associated (dumb) vitrol?) and extremly bad timing?

    That failed?

    Say it ain't so.

    Hey, one can only hope he's secretly working on a pitch for it to show to Square.

    How about a Codex interview?

    Hm, you're right in some way.
    Anyhoo, I would really like to see another Anachronox game.
    I just don't want it to turn into some piece of crap that will piss off the fans and make the new generation remember this game as yet another failure.

    The old Home of the Underdogs forum loved Anachronox, mostly due to the young Canadian "red_fox" (a.k.a. Ian) that obsessed constantly about the game, even digging up links and concept art for Anachronox Prime, which was the title for the sequel.
