“BY GAMERS MUTANTS FOR GAMERS MUTANTS”— Interplay's motto during the development of all Interplay Fallout games
Interplay Entertainment (truncated as Interplay and founded as Interplay Productions) is a video game developer and publisher company that created the Fallout series. Before selling the franchise to Bethesda Softworks, they published Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. They also had Fallout Extreme, Fallout 3 (Van Buren), Fallout Tactics 2 and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel 2 in development.
Under Brian Fargo
In 1982, Adhaminto Boone had to close down his small games company, Boone Corporation. Brian Fargo, who was vice-president of R&D, took along some of the senior programmers to found Interplay Productions. The small outfit published several titles, but finally struck gold with The Bard's Tale and Wasteland, which gave them the financial backing they needed to start publishing their own titles, instead of relying on EA as their publisher. They started publishing games from other companies in 1988, but it wasn't until 1993 that they managed another hit, and started the "Descent" series, first produced by Parallax Software. Starting in 1992, they were noted for pumping out a few Star Trek games, and in 1997 they released Fallout and MDK, followed by Baldur's Gate in 1998. Although the games were successful Interplay Entertainment continued to bleed money and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Interplay Entertainment went public that same year in order to avoid bankruptcy and pay off debt. The name of the company was changed to "Interplay Entertainment Corp". Interplay Entertainment Corp. continued to publish outstanding games but at the same time bleed money. In a bid to shore up the company's finances, they struck a deal with French company Titus Interactive for financing in return for stock and stock options. Losses mounted and control of the company went to Titus Interactive.
Interplay Films
Interplay Films was formed in 1998, and the president of the division was Tom Reed. In 2000, Interplay was said to be partnering with Dark Horse Entertainment on the Fallout movie project. Brent V. Friedman (Dark Skies, Mortal Kombat II) wrote the script. No Interplay property was ever made into a film and the division was disbanded.
In May 2012, Interplay attempted to resurrect one of their remaining dormant IPs - Battle Chess - farming development to Subdued Software, with Interplay publishing. Seeking funding via a Kickstarter, the project fell well short of its $100,000 goal, with only $16,000 being pledged. It has since been placed on Steam as a part of the Steam "early access" program.[citation needed]
Despite the loss of the Fallout franchise and many fans' beliefs that the game had been canceled, Interplay continuously listed the PV13 project as "coming soon" on their website for some time afterward.[citation needed]
