I have them up as slideshows. Comments welcome. Dreamcast http://s983.photobucket.com/albums/ae319/compilerex/ACCLAIM_ART/Dreamcast/?albumview=slideshow Nintendo 64 http://s983.photobucket.com/albums/ae319/compilerex/ACCLAIM_ART/N64_G/?albumview=slideshow Gameboy, and PC http://s983.photobucket.com/albums/ae319/compilerex/ACCLAIM_ART/Gameboy/?albumview=slideshow Some of the highlights:
Some interesting documents there! Even proof artwork is pretty nice to have - looks good framed. And those blue lines are cool!
Thanks for sharing these pictures. In the Dreamcast slide show, there's one photo of a letter from Sony for Re-Volt on Playstation. Should this be in a different slideshow (e.g, non-Dreamcast)? In the N64 slide show, I didn't quite understand the last picture where there was some issue with the game Armorine. Something to do with the letter M having rough edges that look like a printing error? I don't understand the issue/comment.
The letters are regarding the artwork proofs. Which one specifically, or whether it was an earlier proof than the ones shown, I couldn't tell you... but that's what it is referencing. *EDIT* If the two e-mails are related, it's to do with the guide book, not the actual game. It's saying there are rough marks in the letter M, but that they are apparently intentional. Look at the artwork for Armorines on any format, you'll see a white mark in the middle.
Rather amusing Acclaim though that auctioning these off would be something that would bring in more than a few bucks. Anyone who was interested in these historically speaking would pay a pretty penny but to someone who wants to sell something fast for a good profit? Pffft.
Not at all. Acclaim didn't do a damn thing. They were in debt and forced to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The Chapter 7 trustee then sold off all the assets by auction (down to tables and chairs). This is standard practice - creditors are owed lots of money and you have to get every penny you can out of whatever's left. There were several lots of paper, stationery etc., as it all has value. They even sold the coffee! Despite having a reserve of $9 million on the building, it was stripped of its light fittings and security system.
