The Digital Antiquarian published a history lesson about Brian Fargo, and Interplay.

I touched on the history of Brian Fargo and his company Interplay some time ago, when I looked at the impact of The Bard’s Tale, their breakout CRPG hit that briefly replaced the Wizardry series as the go-to yin to Ultima‘s yang and in the process transformed Interplay almost overnight from a minor developer to one of the leading lights of the industry. They deserve more than such cursory treatment, however, for The Bard’s Tale would prove to be only the beginning of Interplay’s legacy. Let’s lay the groundwork for that future today by looking at how it all got started.
More information.

Fargo notes that Activision and EA “just hated each other,” far more so even than was the norm in an increasingly competitive industry.
Aaaah, good times when god still walked on earth.
