As reported Friday, the company is on the brink of bankruptcy, but to make matters worse, in a report filed today, Acclaim has lost the licenses for the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) and Turok due to non-payment of royalties.

In another related story, BattleBorne Entertainment, the developer of Combat Elite, has filed an injucntion against Acclaim. The injunction restrains Acclaim from shipping Combat Elite: WWII Paratroopers because Acclaim breeched the development agreement by failing to make payments when due and threatened to release CE:WW2P before payments were made.
 
I hope someone picks up the Turok license and does something good with it.

edit: Raven or Monolith, I'm looking in your direction.

Bad news for Acclaim, i think vegas odds for a lawsuit out of this are 5:4
 
Turok is one of those games that has major potential but whoever the hell has been in charge of it has just been on crack. There is a point where a game just stops being fun because it is too damn big and Turok made me get that feeling twice. Turok Evolution started out fine but by level 7 i was thinking okay just a few more to go right? Hell no, the game was like 16 levels.

Turok 2 for the n64 was an amazing accomplishment in that I have never seen ONE LEVEL drag on for so damn long, I quit after level 2, my time? 2 hours and 16 minutes for one damn level. So i'm thinking someone else gets Turok, learns to properly pace it, hypes up the jungle aspects a bit more and you should have a stellar game someday.

I know how you feel. I also could not get myself to play more then one or two levels.
 
Eh, Acclaim sucks. I think they may have been good, way back when, in a time long forgotten. A friend of mine used to beta test for them when we were younger, since they've got an office where they did some of that by his house in NY.
