Acclaim Game Franchises Bought By Throwback

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the crappy-franchises dept.

simoniker writes "Canadian game publisher Throwback Entertainment has announced it has acquired the rights to the remaining Acclaim titles, following the major publisher's bankruptcy in 2004 and subsequent bankruptcy auctions. The titles bought by Throwback include Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance, Vexx, Extreme-G Racing, Legends of Wrestling, Re-Volt and Summer Heat Volleyball - but not the infamous Turok franchise, which is being remade by Buena Vista as a futuristic shooter."

    With the exception of ReVolt every one of those titles were flops. Why bother to buy them? Are they not creative enough to come up with their own game concepts and titles?
