An anonymous reader writes "Kotaku points to the official auction site for Acclaim, the game publisher that was. The Auction includes the building and everything that was in it, including arcade games, boardroom tables, an odd collection of football helmets and 43,000 copies of video games."

  1. did the employees get their stuff back? by schatten · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Last I remember, they were locked out for several weeks without paychecks and the building was locked up with some of their belongings inside. Did they happen to get it all back?

    Sorry, but when game spy rates a NES game the best game Acclaim made it says enough about the quality. And don't forget No. 4: Bust A Move I think that was in the arcade Def Leppard released Hysteria.

    Face it, it was gonna happen anyway.

    Anyone have any idea what's happening with the source and other so-called intellectual "property" of their old games?

    I *love* Re-Volt, and would love to see the source and graphics freed up to a community of modders and hackers....
