Interplay Forced to Liquidate (France)

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the end-has-come-for-thee dept.

genrader writes "Voodoo Extreme is reporting that Interplay has had judicial liquidation take place. If you've been reading the gaming news, a lot has been going on with Interplay financially, it seems all this finally caught up to them. Interplay has formerly published very well known games like Icewind Dale, the Baldur's Gate series, and Descent. Farewell, Interplay." Update: 01/06 02:57 GMT by H : This affects just the company in France; sorry for the confusion.

    There is an update in that article which clearly stated "I mailed you earlier about Interplay probably being dead, it turns out they're still alive (sorry about that), Titus have been liquidated but it only affects companies based in France, which doesn't include Interplay."

    Was the article submitted and checked before the update, or is Interplay still considered dead regardless?

    I'm not sure how wide the popular appeal of the game was, but an Interplay game I found realy cool was the Star Trek: 25th Anniversary game.

    It was a puzzle game that wasn't the most slick game of all time, but it featured much of the original cast as voice actors which gave the game an incredible appeal. Does anyone else have an sleeper Interplay games that they thought was pretty decent?
