- Cinemaware proper folded in the wake of Wings -- dragged down by, among
- other things, the high cost of developing It Came from the Desert for
- CD-ROM. The reason you're still seeing Cinemaware-ish titles is that
- the owner opened up shop as a developer -- Bo Jackson Baseball is the
- ]second ikncarnation of TV Sports: Baseball, and ABC's Wide World of Sports
- g is TV Sports: Boxing -- for other labels. There are a couple of other
- things either complete or close to complete in the can -- Rollerbabes being t
- main one -- though it's hard to say what whether any will surface. Konami
- had planned to release Rollerbabes and a couple of other things in '92, but
- the disappearance of Mirrorsoft and its subsequent acquisition by Acclaim
- seems to have thrown the rights to the titles into flux.
