Midway Press ReleaseR 2009-02-12

It's all over the net... this just a day after I was reading an article published by a BBC reporter suggesting that gaming companies were strong candidates to survive a recession.

Bollocks.

So heres to an age old gaming company down the toilet who brought us some classic titles.

ahh that sucks, loved mortal combat etc.

Loads of great games they did:

Midway Games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ones I loved :

Defender
Gauntlet
Gorf
Joust - Amazing game!
Rampage
Tapper
Tron

Blacksite...alright so it wasn't great but still worth a mention
Doom 64
The suffering... brilliant game

Lord of the rings online (publisher) for anyone who still plays that


Sure they did more then that list says but that's still a hell of a lot of good games they made.

This really didn't have much to do with the recession though, they've been on the way down for ages, same with Atari & Eidos.

But yeah, sad to see them go

LOL Gauntlet owned, unless there were 4 of you and 2 of you had to play the game at an acute angle. Gorf LOL "game over space cadet".

Midway stood the times longer then many classic devs did, i'm suprised it took this long as they didn't really "go with the current times".

Rest in piece and i'll pour some copywriter ink for ya.
