I'd heard this a few days back.  Normally, what happens next is they sell ther assets to other publishers.  Thing is, what assets does Acclaim have?
I remember them best for "Mortal Kombat" but now that Midway publishes home versions, they don't need to license out to Acclaim.  The more I think of it, the more I realise that Acclaim has never done anything original/good.  The two "best" games they came up with themselves were Turok and Forsaken.

Am I missing something?  Is there some other franchise (perhaps back a few years) that Acclaim produced themselves?

That's right!  They had the license for "The Simpsons".  That means they published "Bart's Nightmare", the last game to be made by master game designer Bill Williams before he got fed up with the industry and retired.  

Assuming the above story is true (I'm going off Internet accounts), I wonder how much (if anything) Acclaim might have had to do with it?
