GeorgeHOST
Well, I'll tell you what I'd have been playing in July 1998.
GeorgeHOST
I'd have been playing WWF Warzone, the Acclaim wrestler, which I played the wheels off back in the day, 'cause it...
GeorgeHOST
Although I had, I think I might have had the WCW game, which is inherently better in every single way.
GeorgeHOST
I had this because I liked a bit of WWF, and it had Stone Cold on the box.
GeorgeHOST
It's an Acclaim wrestler, so it plays like absolute dog dirt.
GeorgeHOST
Um, you've gotta know all these different button combinations to do your moves.
GeorgeHOST
It's, it was never simple, it was never easy.
5 MINS LATER
GeorgeHOST
Um, but yeah, WWF Warzone really just felt like an evolution of, like, garbage wrestling games that more were rooted in arcade games.
Jake YoungHOST
So this is, uh...
Jake YoungHOST
Acclaim buys LJN and-
Mike LawrenceHOST
Yeah
Jake YoungHOST
... gets all the X-Men rights.
Justin BakerHOST
development in general of this era this is crazy
Chris SaturnHOST
so yeah also uh in addition to uh all of these uh licensed games they're also paying the bills by selling some non-gaming devices uh specifically karaoke equipment in the late 80s there's quite a bit of atlas karaoke equipment Their first self-published video game was the Game Boy game Puzzle Boy, which was released over here in the West as Quirk by Acclaim.
Chris SaturnHOST
My
Justin BakerHOST
kid loves Quirk.
speaker_0HOST
Yeah.
Carl SmithHOST
Some highlights would be what? X-O Manowar crossing over with Iron Man? That kind of happened when Acclaim took over.
Carl SmithHOST
It's fun enough.
Carl SmithHOST
Yeah, we should talk about Acclaim next time.
Carl SmithHOST
I think the early issues of Dr. Mirage are entertaining.
Carl SmithHOST
I like Dr. Mirage because of the dynamic with the husband and the wife, but it was done so much better on the revival that it's hard to read the old ones now.
Carl SmithHOST
With no unified direction to a continuous universe, they were just a bunch of properties.
speaker_0HOST
Yeah, it was meant to just be like another crossover event.
Jason RobbinsHOST
I like that.
Jason RobbinsHOST

You know, I have more sentimental value to the original.
