On "The Itchy & Scratchy Game" for the SNES, the Acclaim logo plays normally then Ithcy and Scratchy runs past the Acclaim logo!

On "Warlock" for Sega Genesis, the logo falls into view themed on a avalanche, then it fades out to make room for the still version of the Trimark Interactive logo.

On Mortal Kombat on the SNES Goro walks from the left then Uppercuts the logo! Then he Poses.

On Mortal Kombat ll for the SNES, If you hold the L and R buttons, Shao Kahn will appear from the left and will say: "You Weak Pathetic Fool!" Basically that's an Insult to Kintaro and he comes from the right and roars and Jumps up and Smashes the Acclaim logo! Shao Kahn will then say: "Ah, too easy!".

Acclaim has a reputation for making garbage games like BMX XXX for the Xbox, PS2, and GC, and Total Recall for the NES, but it has made some good games like NBA Jam
