Hmm, I remember them from the NES days. They had some good stuff then (Wizards & Warriors, Double Dragon 2), but also a lot of crap (Rambo). I think at some point they gobbled up LJN, who had some of the most horrid licensed games out there (Jaws, Nightmare on Elm Street, Back to the Future). Honestly I'm surprised they made it this long.

DRG, anything good Acclaim's name was on during the NES/SNES days was probably something they merely published. Case in point.. Wizards & Warriors was developed by Rare, Double Dragon 2 by Technos.

Upper management probably had more to do with that than the programmers themselves, but obviously there's no way to know for sure.

Nah - that wasn't it... here I found it.

That Olsen twins game is a joke right? RIGHT? It's some photoshop thing?!?

If not well Akklaim, you asked for it

Nope, that game is 100% REAL. I believe they have multiple games on the GBA too lol.

I'm kinda upset about them going bankrupt, although like others, I can't remember the last Acclaim game I actually liked (let alone bought). So I guess making crappy games catches up to ya sooner or later.

Bankruptcy doesn't mean the company's gone, its assets just go to its creditors after some arbitration, unless the current owner pulls together some financing during the bankruptcy proceedings. Worst case scenario is the company gets sold off piece by piece.

Looks like they've got one more winner coming out before they close doors:

I really liked Nightmare on Elm Street! It was a fun action/puzzler, with some very clever puzzles.

Ouch!!!!

The Guy Game is being published by Gathering (Take 2) not Acclaim. The games acclaim had left were Juiced, Red Star, and Worms 3D according to the article I think Juiced and Red Star were done but don't know what that means to the distribution of each. Juiced was supposed to be in stores next week and Red Star the middle of the month.
