Set your phasers to "unrealistic nostalgia-driven hope," for Interplay is about to return and, if this teaser image from Interplay.com is to be believed, it's bringing back some total classics.
We already knew that Interplay was looking to revive its in-house studio with the money made from Fallout 3, and now it looks like a definite go. I still don't care what anybody thinks, I will get on my hands and knees and lick new Earthworm Jim greatness off the dusty floor, regardless of whether or not it can live up to expecatations.
Right now, the teaser image is all that we have, so stay tuned for more announcements soon. Unless of course, the above image and site is a dirty fake, then stay tuned for me shaking my fist at the Internet in a fruitless attempt to make it feel ashamed.
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos.

FUCK YEA DESCENT
Descent 4 - DO WANT
YUCK!
But seriously we need a new Freespace game yesterday.
Well, I'd love to see a sequel to MDK, even though i never finished the first two, they were super fun games.
Shiney is the only developer to work on MDK, Interplay published it.
MDK 3, EWJ 2, please make these games happen interplay.
Oh and Clayfighters 4 would be awesome too.
I'm still waiting for rock n' roll racing 2 !
Just send some mails and search the Fallout fansites or my blog and you'll get the picture.
I hope that Dave Perry and Doug TenNapel are part of the team.
I can't describe how happy I'm now.
God I miss MDK & E.J.
That is all.
MMORPG
Have Interplay finally got their act in gear... Will the Fallout MMO have a future? Time will tell, I'm currently weeping with joy...
And Earthworm Jim, We think he's mighty fine!
Forget starcraft....
holy god make it be full of truthiness!
By chance I was searching on Google earlier for images of construction and came across the following image:
Take note of that yellow & black bit at the bottom.

Now look at the Interplay image, it uses the exact same part from the above image.
Also the coming soon looks like it was written in MS paint.
If this is real and they do come back I hope they're art department is a bit more bloody skilled than the lazy bastard who made this teaser image.
Can Interplay revive Bullfrog while they're at it? *sigh*
Wild 10?
and Carmageddon Reloaded ( just Carmageddon 1 with a new graphics engine, the first game was the best! )
