Don't forget Leisure Suit Larry! (hope this one meets its fundraising goal)

And not just electronic games, but pen and paper RPGs too:

A former roommate of mine is finishing a game (inspired by Ender's Game) with Kickstarter funding, and they've actually released a playable prototype for backers--even though the Kickstarter campaign isn't even over yet.

Also, a friend's game "Path of Exile" is using a pre-purchase model to fund the late stages of development

You can buy micro-currency in advance and in exchange receive perks similar to KickStarter. By running it themselves, Grinding Gears gets access to the funds and can dish out the benefits immediately.

Whoa, I hadn't caught the Shadowrun one. Looks like that's another $30 I won't have any more - good thing I feel it's worth that. :)
