Cool project.
Pretty interesting, though it's a bit weird that this kickstarter is pretty much just to make cartridges for the people who donate... or that's what I can gather from this. Well, that and getting money for all his hard work which I guess makes sense.

And holy crap the cartridge lights up! Guess I'm getting this then.

There is a current homebrew that is actually almost finished.  Somewhere hidden in this thread he discusses it.

There is also a thread needing play testers for it:

From what I understand he started working on making this after a guy who originally made a version of star castle tried to sell it for like $30,000.
