Well Mr.Cousens just remember this day each time you listen to the song Big Yellow Taxi. To be back on your feet is something of a gift very few companies get. I hope you will use this oppurtunity to use your skill and give us some decent games.

I spent 9 years at Acclaim, and was not there in the last several years.

Rod was a gentleman, who I believe was not given the opportunity to be anything more than Fischbach's mini-me. Greg never stepped down, he was doing the CEO job until the end.

Rod and Jafrato are good people and I believe they have a fighting chance to make something of that studio. As long as they have nothing to do with Jimmy and Greg... things will be fine.

Sometimes a fall from grace can inspire you to bounce back with greater cause and more ideas. Hope this is the case with Acclaim. I hope we see some more new games as a result. Good luck Acclaim.

Never met them, but from what other have told me I'd have to agree.
