I was cooling out in a Best Buy the other day, waiting for a dude to go in the back and find me a copy of TNA iMPACT! when I was startled by a familiar logo.

I believe I even jumped a bit when I saw this $25 game time card for any of Acclaim's games sitting on a hook surrounded by other, similar cards. It's one thing to know that the Acclaim name has been resurrected into a new company, but it's another to actually see it out there in the real world.

Signing up RIGHT NOW!

Yeah, we sell these at Target, too, and in the 2 years I've worked there, I've never sold even one.

A freeplay BMX XXX MMO would blow my mind.

Odd to see Acclaim back in the wild though...

This is exactly what Carrie Gouskos was talking about! The fact that you recognize the game company is enough, and the rest of the "suckas" out there won't remember Acclaim's long and storied game library. In fact, if the rest of peeps out there just remember Acclaim incorrectly as the "Mortal Kombat dudes", heck, that'll be enough to hook em!...on that BMX XXX MMO!

I've never seen a company specific gift card, odd bestbuy would have that

I've seen these before.

Advertisements... *sigh*

Wait, is it?

Wow....that's all i can say.

Haha, funny stuff. Open world BMX/skate MMO? I smell moneyz

hahahaha
I would drop warhammer online for that kind of MMO!!

jk

hmmm.. Weird. I remember hearing about those some years back.

A BMX XXX MMO would be so bad it would be awesome

Hmm. Very strange seeing that. :|

World of BMX XXX? Oh, the things my mind conjures...

"lvl 50 stripper lft"
"lol n00b evryone is a lvl 50 striper"
"yea but i unloked teh b00b13s!"
"ok inv comin"

Ahh never seen that
Thats messed =S

Yes, you will. and that scares me

I have this craving for NBA Jam all of a sudden.

Acclaim still alive in the open world? wow...not a name i have heard or seen in a long time.

Weird to see that logo again.

How can you say no to 200 bonus coins?!  hehe

I still remember their output well.

Yeah, the new Acclaim is doing free online games, with micro transactions to buy extra things for your game, that'll be what the card is for. I've played a couple of their games, and they weren't great, but they kept me entertained for a short while, and you can't complain at the price - free.

You lost me after "Zombie Game"...

Reusing the logo makes scene, but yeah you're right on with it being a bad idea to hitch their wagon to the negative side of the legacy.

you have a weird thumb.

+200 Premium shop coins

My father used to know Dave Perry, the mastermind behind Acclaim and I have to say, he knows how to run a business.

I hope you're not talking mess about Extreme-G. Wipeout 2097 had nothing on XG (the first one at least).

what kind of warp space time continuum did that come out off

I must be a very lucky person, I have no real bad memories of Acclaim.  I enjoyed all 3 Extreme G games (XG1 stunk), Re-volt was good and Aggressive Inline was Awesome!
