Acclaim files for Bankruptcy  by Shane L at 07:47

Is this going to be the norm now unless you release a smash hit game?

US video game makers Acclaim has filed for bankruptcy after struggling to keep up sales in an increasingly competitive games market for some time
The company is best-known for its console, Nintendo GameBoy and PC titles, like Turok and Crazy Taxi
Started in 1987, Acclaim was the first independent US firm to publish software for the Nintendo Entertainment System

Well you aint missed much, cant say anything regarding the console version of turok, but the PC version was complete garbage.

Shame to see them die, been some time since they were involved in a good title though. Bart vs the space mutants was such a classic Acclaim title

Bart vs the space mutants


Wow! Blast for the past! I used to play this on my speccy. The Amiga screenshots looked ace at the time.
