It was absolute garbage. haha! sadly the 6128 seemed to get a lot of bad ports. but i reckon it was cack regardless.

But the Simpsons brawler arcade game was the most fun that didn't feature the Ninja Turtles and I will die on that hill.

But its great to hear someone call a spade a spade and admit that not all of their catalog needs to be revived.

I’m hopeful that Acclaim will release some fun indie games. Some of them in that sizzle reel looked like they could be a good time.

The rest of the stuff they did was all either licensed from TV, sport or movies or they did home ports of other people's arcade games that they didn't own the rights to anyway. I seen a lot of random wild hopes that they were going to revive games that they would no longer have the licences to like Turok. I think many people fail to realise that Acclaim didn't come up with any original ideas except for maybe Vexx.

I always thought of them as a licensed slop factory that also did some pretty decent ports of Midway arcade games.

People complain about how "soulless" and creatively bankrupt corps and CEOs are with their reliance on ports, remakes, remasters, sequels, prequels, etc. This new Acclaim is embracing indie games rather than just relying on old IP. I'm cool with another Devolver like company (if the games are good).

He never said the company sucks. He said some of the games weren't great, which is subjectively true. It's not like they were known for always putting out great games.

All ports of Bart vs Space Mutants in a collection please! 😊

@PinballBuzzbro They know exactly what they're doing with it, just not what people are expecting of them, did you not see the showcase video?

I know these games have their (justifiable!) detractors but I had fun with them back in the day, particularly Space Mutants which I was given Christmas '91 (along with Ninja Gaiden!) Despite it's many flaws - hey let's map run and jump to the same button?!? - I love it!
