I've always had a fondness for the series from a distance but never took the plunge even after emulation and digital versions became available until my girlfriend's dad got the third game digitally on ps3. It's a horrible place to jump I in and taste test the series though since they weren't used to 3d and had to experiment with non standard controls. But it didn't make me lose interest in the series myself. Shortly after, my girlfriend got either 4 or 5 and it looked really good on the ps2. I'll eventually dig into them. But I did end up backing this project. Kickstarters are great when they're a passion project
