You'll need to scroll down to the $700,000 "stretch goal", which will probably be hit in the next 24 hours (I'm a backer, so I'm getting the updates emailed through to me).
This is a fairly impressive Kickstarter project... Steve Jackson (designer of GURPS and Munchkin more recently) started off by setting up an old game of his (Ogre) as a Kickstarter project, and has been adding additional targets throughout the month, either to improve the game quality, or now adding promises to work on other old games.
At $700,000 they will start working on a new edition of Car Wars. In order to let people help hit this target, they are doing a $30 backer level where you get a t-shirt that just says "I made Steve Jackson work on Car Wars".
It's great to see some "big" niche names getting in on Kickstarter...I think as the concept matures you'll start to see some more scams, and having some more established companies and names offering up slightly less mainstream offerings is a great way to see this evolve.

YAY! Loved Car Wars. YAY for Kickstarter and the fans telling publishers where to step the fuck off.
