Interplay Update

[CDN_Merlin]

A bunch of Interplay classics return to GameTap:

I am pleased to announce the return of Interplay to GameTap. All the games we had before are back, but we added rights to be able to offer them for free ad supported play and digital sale. What games were those, you ask? Here’s a few highlights:

# American Deer Hunting 2000 (Windows)
# Battle Chess (DOS)
# Clayfighter (Genesis)
# Descent II (Windows)
# Descent III (Windows)
# Descent: Freespace (Windows)
# Descent: Freespace Silent Threat Battle Pack (Windows)
# Die By the Sword (Windows)
# Earthworm Jim 3D (Windows)
# Earthworm Jim (Genesis)
# Earthworm Jim 2 (Genesis)
# Freespace 2 (WINDOWS)
# MDK (Windows)
# Offroad Redneck Racing (Windows)

Perhaps not the comeback news we were waiting for, but something is better than nothing.

Stock dipped to 10.5 cents last friday, then right back up to near 20 cents. Dangit I wish I was paying more attention!

What?? I don't see Descent 1 there. Infidels.

ooo DBTS! (die by the sword)

but what does this may \"offer them for free\" thing mean?

an ex-interplay employee GAVE me a full (and partially hacked - internally by the company) version of DBTS: Limb-from-Limb, and said it would be fine if i gave it around coz interplay wouldn't care.

i wonder if this changes that

I looked up those games on GameTap but they are not there!

Maybe they are still in talks about it or converting it to web format?

I wonder how they will do Descent II for Windows, considering we need D2X-XL or D2XRebirth to play it on XP...

Dang, even MDK is on the list. I always liked when the ogre types would hold the target paddles to their butts daring you to shoot.
