Hey it looks like someone bought the name or acclaim got finance backing or got their finances together look at acclaim.com (Acclaim may be back!) the red star may come out after all
From the article I didn't know that assembler was a Former Activision exec... Or was the name the only thing he didn't get his grubby little mits on at that auction? :110:
all aclaim did really was just have probe port it to genesis and sculpted software to snes, as well as get exclusive home rights to the game, and williams is the one i belive who published part 3 for snes and genesis oddly acclaim was involved with publising the third one in europe. Not sure why that is though.
:lol: well said !! By the way, what the hell is a TWEEN ? They use that word in the gamespot feature. Yakumo
I believe a tween is a kid between the ages of 8-12 or something like that. On the subject of acclaim, did they publish Bart vs. the Space Mutants? That's about the only game (I think) they had something to do with that I ever enjoyed.
And if anybody will remember back to 1990, Bart vs. the Space Mutants was highly anticipated and then highly disappointed everybody. But EGM gave it the award "Best License" in their 1990 awards anyway on the premise that it will sell no matter what. I'd say this was when the snowball started rolling for licensed crap.
it was, but accleam published it, oddly that dev team has been quite, last game they worked on was a port of one of the tony hawks for 64 i belive.
I always thought that Flying Edge and LJN were both Acclaim under a different name. Needles to say both were pretty much crap. Yakumo
Acclaim rarely did originals, they loved to do outsoure and ports. Then in the 1990's that started changing. If you look at what they were going to release: Worms Combat elite Juiced etc They are all just contracted studios doing work for them.
As far as I know Acclaim never developed any truly original properties. They either published games from other developers or developed games based on licenses. http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/company/215.html
your half right yakumo, ljn was acclaims alternative name used as a loophole that nintendo allowed in which a publisher was allowed to make another set number of games under a different name. So if the contract said that they could only make 6 games a year, they would make use a different name and treat as a seprate publisher allowing them to make another 6 games but under that name. Flying edge as stated was just contracted to make bart vs the space mutants. Konami used ultra games for the nes days to make for games in the us, however for europe they used the name palcom even up to the super famicom/nes days.
