Farewell Acclaim...It's Been a Good Run.

0 comments
Well, after snooping around a little bit.  I have found out that one of my better liked game developer/publisher has gone the way of the wind.  Out, it looks like.  Acclaim has been developer/publisher of many great titles, mostly from years gone past.
 Titles include:

  •  'Armorines: Project Swarm' for the N64
  •  'Batman Forever' for the SNES, Sega, and Gameboy
  • Crazy Taxi
  • The Dave Mirra BMX games
  • Burnout and Burnout 2
  • Forsaken
  • Furr Fighters
  • Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat II
  • Smash TV
  • The Turok series
  • and many more
Acclaim was also known for their work on MMO titles such as '9Dragons' and 'The Chronicles of Spellborn'.  Both were Free-2-Play MMO's.  Acclaim, I am truly sorry to see you go.  You guys brought many of the games that shaped my early gaming years.  Best of luck to those who worked for Acclaim, and the creative talent therein.

At time of this post, the Acclaim site had been stripped of pretty much everything except for a shutdown notice and a disclaimer for those who had purchased Acclaim Coins for their online titles.  Check it out for yourself at: http://www.acclaim.com/
