Back in the day, Acclaim Entertainment was a pretty formidable force in the games industry. It has dozens upon dozens of games under its belt, including the first two Burnout<\/strong> titles, the Turok<\/strong> series, NBA Jam<\/strong>, and of course, Mary-Kate and Ashley: Sweet 16 – License to Drive<\/a>. Ahh, good times.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the company went bankrupt in September 2004, but now, just over 20 years later, Acclaim is making a comeback.<\/p>\n

Re-entering the market in 2025, however, has seemingly required Acclaim to approach its business from a different direction, and will instead primarily provide funding, marketing, and PR support to independent studios looking to break into the industry.<\/p>\n
