Earthworm Jim Lives! Interplay Inks Deal With Creator to Relaunch the Legend

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., April 22 -- Interplay
Entertainment Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: IPLY) announced today that the
company signed a partnership arrangement with Earthworm Jim creator Douglas
TenNapel to relaunch the videogame icon.

TenNapel will serve as a creative consultant on Earthworm Jim 4, and
will simultaneously develop an animated series and feature film to expand
the well known brand.

TenNapel created the original Earthworm Jim character, which Interplay
developed into a video game with Shiny Studios for the Sega Genesis console
in 1994. The game became an immediate hit, and later spawned sequels on
various computer and video game platforms, including Earthworm Jim 2,
Earthworm Jim 3D, and Earthworm Jim: Menace 2 the Galaxy.

The iconic character became a virtual hero whose popularity took him
far beyond video games into TV and toys. An animated Earthworm Jim
television series, produced by TenNapel, aired for two seasons from 1995 to
1996, on The Kids WB! with Dan Castellaneta of "The Simpsons" providing the
voice for the title character.
