I was surprised that a lot of Acclaim's stuff ended up in private collections |
|

I always figured it was fire-saled to the purchasing company, but I guess they'll sell to individuals |

I sort of remember seeing the auction notice for Acclaim's office, since I think it was also an online sale, but not having any real money, I never looked into it further |
|

|
shaqfu |
I forget which community it was on, but there's someone out there with a few TB of Acclaim |

Which I suppose is bad and good - it's harder to track down, but if you can find it, there's a better chance of using it for research |

i wonder if there are copies of 1918-1930 National Geographic magazine around in digital form anywhere |
|
05:21
🔗
|
Coderjoe |
just saw someone run across print copies on video, in the basement of an old house. "Anyone want them? Make me an offer." |
|

the domain buttcoin.com is going to expire soon and the owner is not renewing. |
|
06:33
🔗
|

I'm pretty sure he's going to renew it |
|
06:34
🔗
|
S[h]O[r]T |
isnt it owned by someone from somethingawful? |
|
06:34
🔗
|
dnova |
yes |
|
06:34
🔗
|
amerrykan |
wouldn't be a terrible idea to grab a copy for posterity just in case |
|
06:34

isnt it buttcoin.org? |

dnova |
I kinda know him. |
|
06:38
🔗
|
Coderjoe |
if it is set to autorenew, it usually winds up going to the expiration date at many registrars. |
|
06:40

|
06:40
🔗
|
dnova |

|
06:45
🔗
|
dnova |
my opinion is that you should grab a copy if you want a copy |
|
06:45
🔗
|
dnova |
but I highly doubt he's letting it die this renewal cycle |
|
06:48

Though it's not quite right. In 85, we'd be rescuing tape reels and punch cards from dumpsters, no? 3.5" floppies are way too new. |
