Acclaim liquidator to auction off rights to 200 games
Published December 7th, 2005
The trustees responsible for overseeing the liquidation of bankrupt publisher Acclaim have set up a new website listing more than 200 videogame titles for which publishing rights are now available.
The website, which was set up by trustees David R. Maltz & Co., displays a full list of games that are up for grabs plus details of bids made so far - which range from USD 5000 for a title such as Combat Elite to USD 75,000 for the Extreme G series.
Acclaim went bankrupt in September 2004 following huge net losses and a major decline in revenues. Former CEO Rod Cousens attempted to build a new company out of the ashes, but Acclaim’s US administrators fought the move in the courts and won.
