Near Escanaba, which is very close to Rapid River. My brother just graduated from Tech. I went to NMU up in Marquette in my younger days.

Awesome. Briefly dated a girl from Norway up that way, too. Beautiful country up there but them winters are not fun!

Just be glad you didn't follow that girl back to her home countryWe've had lower than -10 C for more than two weeks in Oslo now, but some other places(inland) it can be a lot worse (-20 to -30 C) at this time of the year
He was referring to Norway, MI
it's been hovering around -20 C there recently.

It's all pre-rendered, essentially just a picture, so it's definitely possible.

I wonder when it's going to start? They said that the Kickstarter would start sometime in this frame (along with the video), but when, exactly?

They said they were filming the video this week, so I reckon by the time it's edited it might be end of next week if we are lucky. I hope they don't aim to high in the kickstarter amount this time. If they offer a good exclusive deal to backers even in the lower ranges from 25$ then even with a small target they potentially can double-up the final amt raised.

I'm considering kicking in this time, even tho I am generally against kickstarter as a business model. It's also tough to kick in when the rewards (or whatever you call them) aren't generous enough. For example there have been several films that I considered backing that didn't offer even a digital copy of the movie until the $25 dollar level. Games tend to do get this part right more often, usually offering the product at its intended retail price. I think if Silverball can get this part right they'll get my support this time around.
FYI - Timeshock, Fantastic Journey and Big Race USA are on sale ($2.40 each) on GOG.com this weekend

They can't do that; they need the money for the new engine.

Ok, I see..
Part of the problem is that when they were created, 1600x1200 screen resolutions were considered "high end" graphics for most computers.
These days, you can find a lot of PCs with 1080p (1920x1080) screens, and tablets with 2048x1536 (iPad), 2560x1440 (Nexus 10) screens. Plus, PCs with screens of 2560x1440 or greater resolution screens aren't unusual, a popular one is 2880x1800.
So they have to go and re-do all the artwork to handle higher resolution screens.
