                                    PART II
                             RULE 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without  unreasonable effort or expense
and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should
be completed. (Check box if appropriate.)

     |    (a)  The reasons  described in  reasonable  detail in Part III of this
     |         form  could  not be  eliminated  without  unreasonable  effort or
     |         expense;
     |
     |    (b)  The subject annual report,  semi-annual report, transition report
     |         on Form 10-K,  20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion
[X]  |         thereof, will be  filed  on  or  before  the  15th  calendar  day
     |         following the prescribed  due  date;  or  the  subject  quarterly
     |         report or transition  report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution
     |         report  on  Form  10-D,  or  portion  thereof will  be  filed  on
     |         or  before the  fifth calendar day  following the  prescribed due
     |         date; and
     |

                                    PART III
                                    NARRATIVE

State below in  reasonable  detail why the Form 10-K,  11-K,  20-F 10-Q,  N-SAR,
N-CSR, or the transition  report portion thereof,  could not be filed within the
prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

         Interplay Entertainment Corp.'s Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30,
2005,  could  not be  filed  within  the  prescribed  time  period  because  the
registrant was unable,  without unreasonable effort or expense , to finalize its
quarterly  financial data . The registrant  anticipates filing the June 30, 2005
10-Q within a short period of time.

                                    PART IV

     the corresponding  period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
     earnings  statements  to be  included  in the  subject  report  or  portion
     thereof?
                                                                 [_] Yes  [X] No
