Title: Interplay's website has changed, ever so slightly.
Post by: Ghost on September 23, 2006, 02:05:55 pm: www.interplay.com

They have removed the "Interplay Forums: coming soon" icon and now have a link to play online chess. Woohoo.

I was wondering if anybody had heard anything about them recently?

Doesn't really matter though.

Post by: Mobius on September 24, 2006, 08:37:58 am: Well,I have designed a mission where you have the opportunity of order ships to attack,ecc.
i calle dit FreeSpace 2 Tactics,because your decisions make the difference between victory and lose.

Post by: Ghostavo on December 31, 2005, 07:52:51 pm: Well, FS2 had a lot of references with chess openings.

:nervous:

This gives me an idea... ;7

I loved how the rook ate up enemies in that game. :D

I'm wondering about that too. Where is the server located and who pays for it? The company's offices apparently don't exist anymore.

Post by: ZmaN on September 26, 2006, 08:51:46 pm: they need to get over themselves and sell it or declare bankruptcy. its so useless holding onto that crap.

even if those assets were worth twice of what they are now, theyre still $9,500,000 in debt...

the retardation of some people...
