I recently purchased a lot of SGI Indy computers that had been formerly used by Acclaim Entertainment and its subsidiaries (Iguana, Sculptured Software, and Probe). They were sold at the company's bankruptcy liquidation in 2004 and sat on a shelf in a dingy Brooklyn warehouse for more than ten years until I picked them up last summer.
Their hard drives are intact and contain art assets, company records, design documents, and more.
Also got a bunch of backup CDs containing Acclaim files.
All of this stuff is from the late 90s. Will be revealing the contents via Reddit and Twitter in the coming weeks.
Here's an Imgur album showing the Indys and some of their contents
And my Twitter account.
Lots of good stuff on these systems. I'll avoid posting personal material and other inappropriate stuff, focusing on anything business-related that provides a window into game development twenty years ago.
