Don't think there is a single game from interplay I ever liked. Good riddens maybe people will soon realize shoveling trash into the market no longer works. too bad the market will loose 1000 more jobs or so i guess

I really can't understand how they weren't profitable when they released so many awesome games. Maybe 'cause they also supported so many crappy games (Stonekeep and Descent to Undermountain come to mind).

actually, interplay sold shiny recently. to infogrames, if i remember correctly.

so, judging from previous infogrames titles, all future shiny products will now come in paper sleeves, will have no manual, and you will be unable to play them, due to the copy protection they use.
