About a year ago, games publisher, Acclaim, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/entry/6696037513747804/">filed for bankruptcy</a>, after the executives loaded the company with loads of debt that eventually ran the company into the ground. A group of trustees sued <b>Acclaim</b> for the company's mismanagement and as a result, the trustees are putting up <a href="http://maltzauctions.com/acclaimip.htm">for auction</a> the publishing rights to over 200 videogame titles.
Amongst these titles are a numerous number of <a href="http://www.midway.com">Midway</a> arcade home conversions, as <B>Midway</b> at the time did not have a home console publishing division. Included in the auction are the rights for games like <B>WWF WrestleMania Arcade</b>, <b>Revolution X</b>, the <B>NBA Jam</B> series, <B>Super High Impact</b> and more. But most importantly, <B>Mortal Kombat</b> and <b>Mortal Kombat II</b> are amongst the list of rights up for bid. Although Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat II both have been released in previous <b>Midway</b>, those games were arcade code emulation, not the code that was created for the SNES, Genesis and PC versions Acclaim had published in the past.
