Hi, folks -- first time poster, not sure if this is the right forum, so feel free to let me know if this belongs somewhere else.
I'm working on a from-the-ground up recreation of "Robotron: 2084" -- easily my favorite classic arcade game. The idea was to rewrite the game from scratch but recreate it as close to the original as possible (albeit without issues like the shot-in-the-corner bug!), and eventually add other features. For instance, I was considering a "championship edition" mode where you'd have many more levels beyond the basic 40, or even a "story mode".
Because the legal ramifications of producing such a thing are sketchy, one of the ideas I had was to get in touch with whoever holds the IP for the title, find out what it would cost to license it, and then perhaps have a Kickstarter project to get the money together to license the project as a legitimate, branded release.
Would anyone here be interested in something like this? Again, sorry if this is the wrong place for such a thing.
