Acclaim Entertainment/Logo Variations

Here are the variations used for Acclaim Entertainment. _______________________________________________________________________________________

The Simpsons: Bart's Nightmare (1992, SNES) Bart runs under the Acclaim logo, screaming. _______________________________________________________________________________________

Mortal Kombat (1993, SNES) Goro walks, growling, to the Acclaim logo and uppercuts it away, then does his victory pose. Acclaim Entertainment (Mortal Kombat) _______________________________________________________________________________________

NBA Jam (1994, SNES, Sega CD) The basketball bounces on the Acclaim logo while the rainbow arrow-line slides in the logo. Then it falls into the bottom and we hear a glass break as the logo fades out. On the Sega CD version, the basketball bounces to the left and it even bounces into the bottom of the screen. _______________________________________________________________________________________

Mortal Kombat 2 (1994, SNES) When you hold L and R, Shao Kahn will walk to the Acclaim logo and say "You weak pathetic fool." then Kintaro will appear and teleport jump on the logo a few times, denting, then roaring again. Shao Kahn then says "All too easy." Acclaim Entertainment (Mortal Kombat II) _______________________________________________________________________________________

The Simpsons: Virtual Bart (1994, Genesis and SNES) The Acclaim text is a bit pinkish. Plus, the background of scrolling words of the game's title appears on the background. When that happens Baby Bart, without a Binky, drops down and into the "l" of the logo. He says "Aye Carumba!" after he drops in.

On the Genesis version, he doesn't say that and the background is already there. _______________________________________________________________________________________

NBA Jam Tournament Edition (1994, Game Gear, Genesis, SNES) A basketball player is dribbling on the Acclaim logo. When the rainbow arrow-line slides in the Acclaim logo, the basketball player runs and jumps off the logo and through the bottom. When he jumps off the logo, the announcer (Tim Kitzrow) says "Monster Jam!" and "He's on Fire!" as the basketball player falls off the screen with the basketball on fire.

On the Genesis version, the announcer says "Oh, My!" instead of "Monster Jam!". On the Game Gear version, the logo is still and there's no announcer and the basketball player falls through the logo instead of the right due to the system's screen size. _________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1995, Genesis) The Acclaim logo is on a blue spider web background. _________________________________________________________________________________________________

Acclaim Entertainment (Turok: Dinosaur Hunter) _________________________________________________________________________________________________

Extreme-G (1997) The background takes place at night with the water making waves. On there is a green light. The Acclaim logo appears zooming out. Then it turns around as the background and waves disappear. As the logo forms, "ENTERTAINMENT, INC." and the "(R)" symbol, appears wiping in and the blue light appears under "m". The word, "Acclaim" has blue and white texture this time. Acclaim Entertainment (Extreme G) _________________________________________________________________________________________________

Then a red G-bike drives through above the logo. Acclaim Entertainment (Extreme-G XG2) _________________________________________________________________________________________________

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil (1998)The letters in the logo are placed incorrectly. Then bullets shot from the Iguana fly around and form the logo the correct way. Then he cackles.
