Podcast Episode 012 - History of Acclaim - "The Rise"

 

We go
over the rise of Acclaim Entertainment from its inception by two former
employees of Activision. We cover Acclaim's rise as they started off as
publishers of games from smaller companies, and then branched out into
franchising. We discuss the interactions between Acclaim and Nintendo, and how
they become one of the first American publishers for Nintendo.
