That title was all the info I needed, but if you need some more on this project then head on over to the kickstarter page.
For those of you who may have never played Space Quest it's one of the best adventure games I've played. It ranks up there with Monkey Island, Leisure Suit Larry and the quasi-RPG/adventure game Quest for Glory. You're a space janitor who needs to save the universe from various bad guys. I did a Let's Play of Space Quest one a while back.
Did I mention that Gary Owens is going to be the narrator again? I love that guy. He was great in SQ4 and SQ6 not to mention Laugh In (a little before my time, but I loved the reruns).
Here's a bit of info from the guys themselves:
So head on over if you want to help fund them.

Here's a bit of info from the guys themselves:
Scott and Mark will have their hands all over this project with final say on everything, including how much cheese and Orat meat goes in the crust. What this means, people, is that no aspect of this game will come into being without the personal, crusty-eyed, occasionally salivating and barely comprehensible approval of The Two Guys from Andromeda. This is YOUR guarantee, for you fans and friends, that everything you are about to see is ultimately the work of The Two Guys.
Before we go any further, lets make clear one major question. What platforms are we working to make the game run on? Scan this list:
PC
Mac
Linux
iPad
Android Tablets
All of those platforms, from day one of the release!
.................
In doing this, it allows us to hire top tier game developers - all big Space Quest and adventure game fans, of course - to help make this a reality. Having fan-developers means we'll get the best possible results because of the passion they also carry for our style of the genre. This model helps keep costs down on overhead like office space, so more goes into the game.It also allows us to partner with people in quite literally different parts of the world!
BUT, with all of this we will need YOUR help! In order to make this dream a reality, we are asking our fans and friends to contribute through our Kickstarter campaign and to help us to once again do what is a serious passion we have never lost, and what drives us to make the very best games we can, games you've asked for. Not only do we have some of the top game developers available, we are also pulling in some of the top voice over talent as well! We take multimedia seriously, if nothing else. For voice talent we know you want the one and only narrator, the man with the golden pipes, Gary Owens. Done! But take a look at, along with Gary, a few of the others already on board to voice our characters.
Gary Owens - Narrator from SQ4 and SQ6, voice of Space Ghost, Laugh-in, and many many others in a long and distinguished career.
Rob Paulsen - Pinky from Pinky and the Brain, Yakko from Animaniacs, Raphael the Ninja Turtle, and multiple characters from Monkey Island among many other characters he has voiced.
Robert Clotworthy – Jim Raynor from StarCraft 1 & 2, Senator Evran & Supreme Chancellor from Star Wars: The Old Republic, and Narrator of The History Channel’s Ancient Aliens series, Big Bang Theory, etc.
Ellen McLain - GLaDOS from Portal 1 & 2, Overwatch from Half-Life 2, Administrator from Team Fortress 2, Witch from Left for Dead 2 and many more.
John Patrick Lowrie - Sniper from Team Fortress 2, Sword Control from Halo Reach, Citizens from Half-Life 2 and author of Dancing with Eternity.
We fully intend to bring back every element that you guys loved from our original games! You’ve been very clear and concise as to what you enjoyed from our previous efforts. Here’s a short list of things you can expect if our project gets funded:
-A Sci-fi adventure from Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe working happily together as a team once again.
-Hilarious death sequences
-Tons of the fresh (and moldy) pop-culture references
-Fun and unique humor
-Art design and direction by Mark
-Dialog that will make you blow nostril Tang, written by Scott along with Mark
-Narration of all this by Gary Owens and the voice acting of other characters by the above mentioned quality industry voice talent
-Game music that will hopefully give you chills and wedge in your main orb for the rest of your natural Earth life and make you wish you lived inside your computer!
-A game that you will feel comfortable playing with your children, but with some entertainment that will safely appeal only to the adult psyche.
So head on over if you want to help fund them.
