Acclaim filing for bankruptcy?
http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/08...s_6105926.html

Doesn't look too good. Not particularly suprised... Aside from the Burnout series which they lost to EA, what did they have? The mediocre Legends of Wrestling series? I don't really see any future for Acclaim TBH.

Sad. Acclaim used to be one of the best dev houses out there. Turok: Evolution really sank 'em.

If I remember my games right, Acclaim merely published a lot of their best known titles back in the day.

I was thinking Enix did Actraiser, though Accliam may have published it.

Not a lot a good games in there.

I even noticed a title that doesn't really exist, (BMX XXX for GBA,) and one definitely not developed by them, (Bubble Bobble.) Here's a list of games ported by (read: not developed by) Probe, basically part of Acclaim.

Othello for NES was one of the hardest fucking games EVER.

I liked the Wizards & Warriors series too. It also included Ironsword: W&W 2, and W&W III as well (which aren't listed)

I would have liked to see those ported as a collection to a new system
