Get Those Acclaim Games
A few months ago it was revealed that video game publishing licenses held by bankrupt publisher Acclaim would be auctioned off. Later, a full list of properties was released. Now, the website has been updated with contact information to actually go ahead and start bidding. Most of the bids are still relatively low, with offers of $5,000 for games such as Alias, Crazy Taxi, and Mary Kate and Ashley Get a Clue. Five games in the Bust-a-Move series are currently at a combined price of $7,500. Re-Volt and Re-Volt 2 are up to $40,000, and the Extreme G series is up to $75,000.
It looks like the files and records for the games were being shown yesterday and today in Oceanside, New York, so interested parties who aren't able to head down there at a moment's notice may have to bid sight unseen. Of course, if you're a massive Riven fan who just can't bear that anybody would republish the game without your permission, that's a risk you may have to take.
