Brian Fargo Resigns

On top of the other troubles Interplay has been having, OCRegister is reporting that Brian Fargo, founder and CEO of the company, has officially resigned. Here’s a rip from the article:

Brian Fargo holstered his laser pistol, hung up his rocket helmet and elected not to continue down the multibranching maze of menace.

In other words, Fargo resigned this week as chief executive officer of Interplay, the Irvine video-game company he founded in 1984 by selling games on floppy disks wrapped in plastic baggies.

…

As for his own future, Fargo is keeping his plans under wraps for now.

“I can tell you one thing,” he said. “In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, ‘I’ll be back.'”
