Brian Fargo is a computer game developer and notable game industry figure.

In 1984 Fargo founded Interplay Entertainment, where he worked on most of Interplay's early games (Fallout, MDK, Redneck Rampage, Bard's Tale, etc...), and Wasteland. He was the company's CEO until 2002, when majority control of Interplay was acquired by Titus Interactive, and he left the company.

In 2003 Fargo founded a new company, InXile Entertainment. In October 2004, InXile released The Bard's Tale for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. A version for Microsoft Windows was released in early 2005.

In 2003, Fargo finally acquired the rights to Wasteland from EA[1].
