I remember them foolishly buying the rights to many games acclaim published or made without consideration of the licenses attached to those properties. Here we are six years later, their forum is closed and nothing changed on the front page. The list of Acclaim titles Throwback now owns the rights to (according to a 2006 ign article) Aggressive Inline Extreme-G Racing Extreme-G 2 Extreme-G 3 Fur Fighters Fur Fighters: Viggo's Revenge Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance Iggy's Reckin' Balls Legends of Wrestling Legends of Wrestling 2 Re-Volt Showdown: Legends of Wrestling Summer Heat Volleyball SX Superstar Vexx XGRA: Extreme-G Racing Association The person in charge has a twitter thread https://twitter.com/tmaduri perhaps enough people can tweet at him to get a real answer on what happened. On his twitter page he's still touting the purchase as ip worth 3.5 billion in sales.
Fur Fighters was actually a product of Bizarre Creations in the UK. Looks like Acclaim bought the license from them originally.
Aggressive Inline was a super fun game back in the day. We played the crap out of it. I don't know if there's still a market for a roller blading game but it'd be cool to have another one.
