Acclaim Studios Salt Lake City (defunct)

About

Acclaim Studios Salt Lake City specialized in port work through the 1980s. The company also produced several wrestling games for Acclaim, which published and renamed the studio in 1995.

Acclaim Studios Salt Lake City (previously Sculptured Software) was an American video game developer based in Salt Lake City, Utah and founded in 1984 by George Metos, Peter Adams, and Bryan Brandenburg. George Metos incorporated the company on July 12, 1985 in the state of Utah with the help of some investors, as Sculptured Software, Inc. The company was an early pioneer in the video gaming industry, porting many games from arcade to home console systems, and developing its own games as well. The development company stayed very busy and successful, with over 50 games to its credit, so it is of no surprise that the company became a target for acquisition by larger companies. This happened in October 1995 when Acclaim Inc. bought the company.
