Acclaim Games no longer with us

Posted by:

Acclaim is gone again. Or at least the reborn version of it is. The Acclaim we knew as a publisher in 90s went down in 2004, but the company’s IPs and name were sold off, which led to a reincarnation of Acclaim as a free-to-play service that once had 15 million registered users playing games like MMO 9Dragons and rhythm game RockFree.

But, unfortunately, it is no more. Check their website for info on reimbursing unused Acclaim Coins as well as in-game 9Dragons purchases.

For those who didn’t play any of the new Acclaim’s games, perhaps you can honor the old publisher’s memory by reflecting fondly on Turok, NFL Quarterback Club or even the old console version of NBA Jam.

Open the bio of Aaron Yorke

Aaron is a big Nintendo fan living in suburban New Jersey. While his favorite game publisher hasn’t been very consistent in putting out legendary offerings lately, he’ll always come back to his Wii (or Wii U) for the next Mario or Zelda title. That’s probably because Mario and Link are the two heroes who first introduced him to videogames.

The first game Aaron fell in love with was Super Mario World, but The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was his first obsession. Despite the outstanding 3D Zelda games to come out starting with 1998’s Ocarina of Time, A Link to the Past will always be Aaron’s favorite game. That’s likely due to the hours spent battling Ganon’s minions that defined his life as a six-year-old.

In more modern times, Aaron will dabble in shooters and RPGs. Despite the fact that he’s now in his mid-20s, he’s still an incurable Pokémon fanatic. Gritty, realistic shooters are great, but Aaron will always prefer the colorful fantasy lands produced by Nintendo games.

Aaron’s greatest triumph in gaming was when he finally defeated Ganon in the original Legend of Zelda. His greatest disappointment is that Yoshi’s Story is on the Wii’s virtual console, but Yoshi’s Island isn’t.

While Aaron is a big sports fan, he’s upset that the current landscape of sports games “forces” fans to buy a new title every year, even when an online update would suffice in most cases. Though he enjoys all Mario Karts, he’s adamant that Mario Kart 64 is overrated and Mario Kart: Double Dash is underrated.
