Acclaim

Acclaim

defunct American game developer and publisher A company credit can mean development, publishing, localization, porting, or regional distribution depending on the title and edition. The directory therefore keeps each credited role attached to its specific game and release. It does not infer credits from parent-company ownership, a later acquisition, a shared brand, or a similar name, and it does not merge separate organizations solely because their names resemble one another. The public English name is shortened to “Acclaim”, while “Acclaim Entertainment” remains available for search and historical identification. The Chinese display name used on this page is “Acclaim”. The linked count is a catalog measure and should not be read as a claim about the company's complete lifetime output.
