A video game company has snapped up the rights to 65 thought-abandoned Acclaim games for $1m.
Canadian company Liquid Media bought the rights to the titles from fellow Canadian company Throwback Entertainment, which itself bought the rights from Acclaim Entertainment, a video game publisher that went bust in 2004.
The list of games, provided to Geekwire, is a real mixed bag. The 1996 PC port of Bubble Bobble is on there, as is Wetrix, some of the bad NBA Jam games and the video game based on Street Fighter: The Movie. It's worth pointing out Liquid does not now own the rights to the Bubble Bobble franchise or, obviously, the Street Fighter franchise - rather, it owns the rights to specific stock-keeping units (SKUs) once published by Acclaim.
