One of the best, legendary, but also forgotten/overlooked action-adventure games of all time, Outcast is at brink of resurrection. This fantastic game was originally released in 1999 for PC (available from GoG.com) and was praised by the critics (GameSpot even awarded it with Adventure Game of the Year), but for one reason or another (high system requirements at that time) the game didnt sell very well, thus the developer Appeal went bankrupt and the sequel Outcast 2 was cancelled.

Now the original team who created the game got the rights to Outcast back from Atari and they are now going to bring the game back to modern-age, with entirely new graphics/physics engine, improved gameplay etc. However Outcast is a massive game and they need to rebuiled everything from scratch, thus they need funding from us, the gamer community. Like said, Outcast was overlooked by many and it isnt very well known, thus its most likely that the project is not going achieve its $600 000 funding from us old Outcasts fans alone. It has gotten great start with $126 000 in 3 days, but it needs to find younger generation of people who would be willing to support this project.

For me, personally Outcast is one of the best games of all time, one of the few I would give 10/10. It had great storyline, great voiceacting/dialogue, amazing, movie-quality orchestral soundtrack and for its time back in 1999 also amazing visuals and large, open gameworlds. Thus is was extremely bitter to see it overlooked by gamers back then and For me the possible resurrection of Outcast after 15 years since it launch is like dream come true, but it requires the help from us, the gamers. I personally donated $200 for this project, but even the smallest donations could make the difference.

For those not familiar with Kickstarter-program or the game Outcast, I'll be happy to answer any questions, but lets just say that if this project doesnt get it's $600 000 goal in 28 days, then you get your money back. Many games have been given life by Kickstarter, for example Torment: Tides of Numenera (spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment) that becamethe most funded video game Kickstarter with a total of $4,188,927 pledged by 74,405 backers. This if anything is proof that we gamers (and bronies alike ;D) can make this happen and I dearly hope that you would atleast take time to look at this game and give your support to it. So if you like great action-adventure games, do yourselves a favor and help this game see the light of day. Lets make it happen my fellow gamers and Bronies!

Here is some gameplay from the original Outcast:
