BRIAN Fargo was once one of the colossi of the games industry: the head honcho of Interplay, which he built up into one of the biggest games publishers, from humble beginnings as a programmer. Those who are too young to remember as far back as the 1990s will not have come across Interplay, but it was a massively pioneering, influential publisher, and among Fargo’s achievements there, you can include inventing the post-apocalyptic RPG genre, along with providing the first platform for Blizzard, BioWare and Treyarch to show their skills.
