Wow. That's unfortunate.
Maybe David Foley will come to the rescue and fill this void in a way that will help our community, which he loves so much.

It's probably due to most of the classics being put on those Jakk's TV games. They found out there is a viable market for classics. I think I've even seen a Mortal Kombat version, but maybe not specifically released by Jakk's.
SirPoonga:
No, not due to the Jakk's game. I bet it's due to the fact they only had about 20 games, all like 1980 or earlier, with a niche target customer group.
The bad part about this is it provides an example to the manufacturers that something like this won't work. It will be more difficult to get something like this up and going again, unless the company had many industry ties.
I was just on there last night showing someone it. He was going to buy the games.
