Acclaim was one of the most successful publishers of console video games in the world. Three men bound together to cast a vision for a new type of games company with a focus on fan service and innovation.

Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. was founded in 1987 as a Delaware corporation. Over the next 17 years, the company became a leading worldwide developer, publisher, and mass marketer. Industry changing titles such as Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam, Turok, and dozens of others flew through the Acclaim machine to find homes with fans over the globe.

The company’s headquarters were located in Glen Cove, New York, and their common stock publicly traded on the US Stock Exchange (NASDAQ symbol AKLM).

During the games winter of 2025, a team of industry veterans came together to bring the prestige of Acclaim back to the industries, supporting developers and fans alike. This is the beginning of a new era of Acclaim.
