[http://www.computerandvideogames.com/news/news\_story.php?id=108779](http://www.computerandvideogames.com/news/news_story.php?id=108779) Isn’t this the same company that made the Mortal Kombat series? Cheers! Kirupa 😛 ---

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](http://www.acclaim.com/games/index.html) ---

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 😉 ---

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. ---

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. :-/ ---

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. ---
