Dynamite launchers and machine gun bras FTW.

It was cheesy, and a bit crap, but I kinda liked it back in the last century.

Why the fuss?

Blizzard holds rights to Redneck Rampage - the article implies this is controversial somehow, but doesn't explain why.

Was this the game where you could pee on people?

No, that was Postal.

The peeing was useful, aside from making NPCs puke it could also be used to douse the flames on a burning body. You know you're onto a winner when your game has a keybind for 'unzip flies'.

Postal 2 also had the ability to take a cat and stick your gun butt up it's arse to use the said feline as a silencer....

I remember Redneck Rampage, the Yanks seem to talk about it like it was quite racist. I thought it was pretty harmless myself, but hey, what do I know?

You could kill chickens in it. I remember it being pretty good. They should revive it but make sure it involves loads of gore and prostitutes.

You can get it from GOG (Good Old Games) cheap. :)

This is clearly a matter of them inheriting the rights as the article says. There is nothing at all about this license that they would want as far as I can see and even if they wanted to do a game using the same subject matter they really would not have needed to purchase the license for a virtually forgotten franchise.

I just read on another site that Interplay sold the license to Vivendi in 2004 for 300,000$, talk about money well spent...

Classic gaming memories, the Build engine suited its humour perfectly yet provided some great atmosphere to the environments too. I think I'd actually like more Build engine games rather than the latest 3D tech. Games like Duke Nukem 3D, Blood and Shadow Warrior are just so, involving. I remember the large Shadow Warrior box next to Quake II in the shop, I had to choose one, but that choice was easily Shadow Warrior even if Quake II had the latest 3DFX lighting effects.
