Obviously, as has been said here, we as Space Quest fans, tend to find the death's to be part of the essence of these games. However, there are many other adventure game fans that were first weened on the more Lucas Arts style games, where there were generally no dead ends of deaths. Some people just prefer their adventure games to be stress free, and play them at a leisurely place, and there is nothing wrong with this. However, I don't really see why people bother to post in the thread, if all they are going to say is that they don't like Space Quest; as if their personal taste in adventure games is 'correct' and decides which kickstarter projects would be worthy. I agree that a 'try again' feature would be a good compromise here.
