December 6, 2005 Print Preview
Since Acclaim have now officially been announced bankrupt there is a bankruptcy auction to sell off all of the publishing rights to their games.
I'm not sure what the publishing rights entails, or how much money there is in them, but they all seem to be going pretty cheaply and there are a few cool games in there (Extreme G, Burnout, Smash TV)
Rocket Boards is a super fast 3D rocket boarding action. My first "commercial" (shareware) product. Didn't do amazingly well but was a good learning experience
Bubble Bomb is a polished update of a game originally built by Warren Marshal (who works at Epic games - developers of Unreal and Gears of War)
My own update of Bubble Bomb, Bubble Blitz was almost a total rewrite adding loads of new features and a shiny new look.
Seths Puzzle Boxes is a puzzle game with a surprisingly enjoyable story line, unfortunately it's quite short so won't take long to complete, but while it lasts is great fun.

Does Acclaim own the rights to the Classics Illustrated Comics series started in the late 1940's?
I haven't got the foggiest. I'm under the impression that all you are buying is the rights to distribute the games. Nothing to do with the actual licenses, so you have no rights to create sequels or anything like that.
