About the rights of other softhouses, well, I think the owner of title will need to try a deal with the right's owner. If not, they'll need to battle in the court to solve the problem =\
True, Aklaim had good games, such Extreme-G, Turok and that Ecco the Dolphin. I hope any good softhouse grab some of these great titles and make new games =)

I was thinking a little more seriously about this last night.
If we did happen to bid and win one of these games, I presume we then "own" the rights and therefore the royalties for that particular title/series?
I was listening to a podcast last night about the Xbox Live Arcade on the 360. It was an interview with a guy who was one of the managers behind the Arcade, and he said that part of his job was to send/receive emails from publishers who fancy putting their retro titles onto the arcade, presumably for a price. As an example, games like Smash TV and Joust are on there at the moment to download.
And it got me thinking.
Are there any really retro titles on that Acclaim list that have the potential to work on the Xbox Live Arcade?
I think we should do some research - this could be a great oppertunity.

Yeah, but not only the xbox live idea, you could do a lot more, with the rights of these titles, because if you're the official publsiher you also should get the sources of the old games...Jaz said:
Interested in a new port of bubble bobble/bust a move for the n64?
A mass bid would be a funny idea...

OK, well if we're all in, lets make some serious enquiries about this. The first problem that (some of us) have is the location.
The files associated with the above games may be inspected On Monday, December 19 & Tuesday, December 20, 2005 between the hours of 10:00 am & 5:00 pm at:
South Shore Records
3067 New Street
Oceanside, NY 11572
We need to contact them to see what it is exactly we're bidding on.
But I can't see any email addresses on there, only a telephone number.
Please call Bob @ 516-349-7022 to make an appointment.
So we're going to need someone in the US to do this.
Anyone?
