Does the OP realize just how many Interplay games are on GOG?

taczillabr: They do NEED the money... so I don't think they'd take the games so rapidly.

But what a stupid way to spend their income... 3DS and facebook games, really? and what else other than remakes/ports are they doing?
If they need quick turnaround and a new audience to sell existing properties to, no they're doing the right thing. Will it get us more games that we want to play? No, at least not in the short run. They had 3000 dollars in the bank in 2010 and 7 developers. That's not exactly anything they're going to be able to leverage to pump out anything groundbreaking.

Aside from Giants, MDK 1 and 2 what am I missing from their catalog that is good? Gonna snatch those up tonight since I'm sure something is missing.

I already have Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Descent 1, Descent 2, Freespace 2, Sacrifice and Earthworm Jim.

Edit: If Interplay really needs money they should sell some of those IPs that they are sitting on. CD Projekt could snatch them up for chump change and force an exclusive deal for the titles on GoG (by removing the titles from Steam or whatever).

Not sure the demand on these titles but I would rather CD Projekt sitting on the IPs then a company like EA.

Agreed, my wishlist is quite expensive as well. Interplay has been behind a lot of good and even great stuff over the years.

That's very sad indeed, for a company with such a history and franchises like Interplay.

I thought they were getting better because I saw they recently released two games on steam, Tommy Tronic, Death and the Fly.

OK 3D in portables is a new market, and FB has millions of potential customers... but talking hardcore gaming here, I can't look at those without reading: gimmick and saturated/overcrowded, respectively.

Well said.

Interplay has been nothing but Herve Caen's personal cash cow since he pulled the Titus takeover, drove out Brian Fargo, and killed off Black Isle. They will never amount to anything again so long as Herve Caen is in charge.

I bet it's a comfy suit.
It seems to be fashionable, after all infogrammes is wearing one made from the corpse of atari

Though in their case I suspect that they bought the name for the fact that most people know how to pronounce atari
I know. Interplay could add horse armour to all their old games. Oh, and funny hats. Ohhhh and we can have a bake sale! ^.^
