Buy a Piece of Acclaim

Posted by samzenpus on from the games-from-the-past dept.

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." Our previous story of their bankruptcy.

  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?

    I'd have to say the auction would be much better if I could sign on over the internet, purchase Greg Fischbach's desk. I'd like to have it shipped to my home, where myself and my fellow ex-Acclaim buddies could bash it, cut it into small pieces, then when we tire of performing our selfless duty, set fire to it in effigy. On video. And mail him the tape.

    That is, right after we karma whore by linking to it on Slashdot. :-)
