    A former Interplay employee shares his memories and reflections on the fall of Interplay. Here's a snip:

    I once heard that dreams don’t die - We kill them. That is not true. Dreams do die and with them a little part of ourselves. Do I sound bitter? I am bitter and with good cause. I worked for the game publisher, Interplay Entertainment, as their web application engineer (a.k.a. web developer). I finally moved out of Information Technology into to game design, only to have my dreams crumble into dust.

    I have spent my entire life involved in some fashion with games. I have worked selling them, writing supplements, creating adventures, even testing them. I've long dreamed of seeing my creations come to life on the computer screen, but moving into computer game design is tough. You need your name on two released titles just to be considered to get your name on a released title. It is that catch-22 thing.
