Isn’t this the same company that made the Mortal Kombat series?

Cheers!
Kirupa :stuck_out_tongue:

Woah, that sucks… but now that I think about it, I don’t think they’ve ever made a game that I enjoyed. But still they are a well known company.

List of Games

Oh - they also did Turok. I noticed on their Support page that they did do the first two Mortal Kombat series. I guess another company such as EA, Activision, etc. would end up buying them or the rights to their games :wink:

I remember them from back in the Amega500 days.
They were all over that…
Along with ex Microproses

they made Contra for original nintendo…that game kicked ***

Contra rocked my socks. Now they’re ('ve?) come out with new Contra that’s gonna be total crap.

A few months back they sold the rights to almost all of their big titles and series. This was being predicted for a quite some time now. Kinda sucks, someone should just email them a couple billion dollars.

someone should just email them a couple billion dollars.

clicks to paypal.com

lmao i dont have that sort of money…need to figure out where my next case of beer is coming from for tonight.

I have an original nintendo in my office and used to play Contra all the time, now I can beat it in 6 minutes, goots use that lives cheat though :whistle:

i loved contra. aww dam that sucks. i also loved mortal combat. some good games

I thought konami did the original contra?

up up down down left right left right a b select start?

Yeah, Contra was made by Konami, not Acclaim.

The only real venerable game Acclaim made (or at least published/ported) was the Mortal Kombat series. Other than that, I can’t really name any other game they made. :-/

TheRhoPsi = JRPereira? Fishyy.

i kinda woulda guess, this wuold happen…i mean cant say anything they put out lately was any good…

Now, unless i or JRP is schizophrenic, I don’t think I’d be answering my own questions/concerns. :wink:

In short, JRP and I are definitely different people =)

(gotta love these smileys) :thumb:

Sorry for bustin on ya, don’t see this ‘influx’ of newcomers this often/fast.

AW MAN!!! that sucks… I love Crazy Taxi and BurnOut 2(this game went platinum on SP2)

Great game… I hope that EA… that will probally take them over will keep these good titles alive.

Seeing as we’re using different ip’s, i’d imagine it would be difficult for us to be the same person. I’m not exactly a newcomer though, I registered a decent while ago but I haven’t bothered to post a lot for fear of being one of those post count mongers.

[ot]Yeah - JR and TheRhoPsi are different people based on their IPs :inc:[/ot]
