Vis's Carmageddon time?

Not so, according to SCi

Scottish developers Vis Interactive, best know for Earthworm Jim and Hedz, have reportedly been looking at a 'reverse take-over' of Carmageddon developers SCi. Vis are an ambitious outfit and their eventual aim is apparently to float on the Stock Exchange. That, and produce a few more videogames, one would imagine.

"We get calls and we talk to people all the time about all kinds of deals, but I'm certainly not aware of any deal with Vis," Sci boss Jane Cavanagh told Computer Trade Weekly. And she should know, shouldn't she?

Still, it makes a change for someone other than Eidos and Infogrames to be sniffing around, even though it's being denied.
