Acclaim’s shame complete: Boardroom table under the hammer
Defunct outfits up for auction
Look! It still has a Post-It note! We feel a bit bad now...
SPOnG has always wanted a GD ROM burner but was never allowed one. Our conversations with Sega tended to go something like this:
SPOnG: Can we have a GD burner please?
Sega official: No, of course not, don’t be so stupid.
SPOnG: Go on, please! We really want one!
Sega official: Oh, go on then, I’ll order you one.
SPOnG: Oh wow! Really?
Sega official: No, of course not, don’t be so stupid.
We mention this now because the last time we saw a GD burner, in fact, if memory serves there were about ten of them, complete with hundreds of unwritten GD ROMS (the dream lives) was at Acclaim’s offices.
And the whole kit and indeed, caboodle is available to buy, with the erstwhile publishing power going under the hammer on the 6th and 7th next month. Ever wondered where those eBay miracles come from? Well, it’s this kind of thing. 64DD dev station anyone.
...In your dreams!

Any chance of some details on how to bid? Is there a website with a stock list?

Yeah, click this link - it's in last paragraph of the story. It might not be so obvious depending on which SPOnG skin you are using - how about flagging these things a bit clearer guys.
There's no stock list yet, but they promise one soon.
But on the subject of the GD writers - they prolly remain SEGA's property, and are only licensed/loaned to companes, so I'm betting there are none in the sale.
