Hmmm, a Batman Forever game. I have never seen one of those before, never even knew it existed until now.

Most of the 43,000 software/cartridges/whatever are probably going to be absolutely worthless overstocks on terrible titles. Just like when Wizards of the Coast bought TSR and found a warehouse full of OLD OLD OLD unpopular game supplements (as old as 1981) still being valued on paper like they were ready to go to the distributor any day now. I think they just destroyed it all for the write off value, as it truly was worthless. Should have just opened up the warehouse and had a "come and get it" sale and gave it all away.

This just pisses me off.  >:(  >:(  >:(

I own, or did own, like .001% of that company. I think I should get a piece of this auction.

Damn Acclaim.

Reminds me of the MP3.com auction a few years ago.  They just locked the door one day and everyones stuff on their desks was still sitting there.

If you follow through the links, they have a pile of titles in Ohio that they're auctioning.

Lot 2008: 348 (Three Hundred Forty Eight) Turok Evolution for Playstation 2

I don't know what you would do with 348 Turok cartridges...
