This happened very recently:
<LanceBoyle> UNRELATED: I kind of like the minimalistic design of early Accolade covers, honestly
<LanceBoyle> Like this one:
www.mobygames.com/game/killed-until-dead/cover-art/gameCoverId,71660/
<EksFaktr> oh god. you're not going to start playing Hardball again, are you?
<LanceBoyle> I never played Hardball
<dire51> BALLISTIC PRESENTS... HARDBALLS!
<LanceBoyle> MIKE DITKA
<LanceBoyle> POWER FOOTBALL
* EksFaktr deflates
<LanceBoyle> HardBallz
<dire51> i just love that overenthusiastic announcer.
<LanceBoyle> The ultimate Accolade crossover
<dire51> hardball vs mike ditka vs star control?
<LanceBoyle> Hardball vs Ditka vs Star Control vs Ballz vs Les Manley vs Test Drive
<dire51> YES
<dire51> i would play that.
<LanceBoyle> I'd play that too, just to run over Les with a Dodge Viper
<LanceBoyle> And then bring in the Star Control ships to obliterate everything
<dire51> one ur-quan dreadnaught would do that.
<LanceBoyle> Seriously, we should go to Atari and give them this idea, so that they actually use other former Accolade properties that aren't Test Drive
<LanceBoyle> Accolade All-Stars Battle Royale
<dire51> i like it.
<LanceBoyle> Now that I realize it the mention of Accolade or Accolade-related stuff has made for some fun IRC-ing recently
<LanceBoyle> This and our punfest yesterday
(a while later...)
<wildweasel> what has been happening in my absence
<dire51> Accolade All-Stars Battle Royale
<LanceBoyle> MIKE DITKA
<wildweasel> starring...uh...
<wildweasel> bubsy...and uh...jack nicklaus...and uh...
<LanceBoyle> Les Manley
<dire51> and les manley.
<wildweasel> heh
(a short while after that...)
<dire51> massive fleets of star control ships converging and annihilating bubsy. that's what i see when i picture AASBR.
<wildweasel> bubsy gets drafted to fly a Shofixti Scout and hits the "glory device" by accident
<dire51> that works.
<dire51> "what could possibly go-"
There was also a pun madness yesterday on there that also started with something related to Accolade, but I don't know if someone actually archived that.
And we should seriously go and ask Atari to do Accolade All-Stars Battle Royale.
