So they sell off these two, but keep Jaws?

My guess is EA. They could even use this to get more fighters in their next crappy Super Smash wannabe.

So what, are they going outta business? I know '05 was not good to them .. great as it was, Psychonauts didn't sell.

Anyone else read that and think of Ghost Writer?

That sucks...Majesco fought hard to come back...now its eems like they are going away for good. Only because of one bad game, and no support from us for one great game.

Hey man, Jaws is going to be sweet. I havnt watched Jaws once without saying "I wish I could do that."

[Heretic Machine]

Yeah, me and OSX here seem to be the only ones who want to capsize boats. What's wrong with the rest of you?

[OSX]

I always wanted to end Jaws differently, so playing a game where I can dodge the oxygen tank and eat that yuppie wannbe pirate will be rather satisfying.

I did, had to read the post twice to get what it really said.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.

The press release states that they got $8.000.000 for the sale, that should help them a bit... but I'm surprised that they decided to sell off these games.

They may have just gotten in over their heads. The GBA Video did really well for them, but high-ish profile games they picked up may have been too much too soon for them. I doubt they'll go out of business.
