TCW Podcast Episode
013 - History of Acclaim - "The Fall"
We would like to
dedicate this episode to Fergus McGovern, co-founder of Probe Software, who
died 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 to
survive, and why. We also discuss how it is a unique situation that led to the
growth of Acclaim in the late 80s early 90s . We can also see parallels between
Acclaim and more recently THQ.
