We would like to

dedicate this episode to Fergus McGovern, co-founder of Probe Software, whodied February 27, 2016 at the age of 50.

 

We go over the

changes that led to the fall of Acclaim. How some other publishers were able tosurvive, and why. We also discuss how it is a unique situation that led to thegrowth of Acclaim in the late 80s early 90s . We can also see parallels betweenAcclaim and more recently THQ.
