Maybe if they stopped putting out shite games since Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and Mortal Kombat they wouldn't have to.

Apart from Joust, Spy Hunter, Gorf and Defender their outputs been a bit rubbish. I feel like im pissing on a dead granny, sorry.

Thank God - they haven't made a decent game since Mortal Kombat II.

also Muzak has gone bankrupt

i feel like your a dead granny and im pissing on you for having no appreciation for good games

owned. I will say this, those guys had one of the most anal legal teams in the industry. Complete pain in the ass to work with.

Enter a new display name blames the recession.

Yeah, those were decent - if you had an extra chromosome.

Maybe this will force them to buck up and make something decent again. I just played through MKII on Genesis last night; I hope these guys can pull something like that off again.

defender is wicked!

NBA Jam ftw

pshaw! those were quality titles. got old after a little while, but mindless fun nonetheless.

gauntlet was also great to waste a night of drinking playing.

I still fucking play the shit out of NBA Jam. Nothing quite like a bottle of brandy and a super tourney of NBA Jam to start a friday off right.

Shame. They were a client.

Alzado- come over for a Galaga marathon, my buddy who owns a tabletop arcade game is moving to Chicago and I'm assuming posession of it.

damn tragedy.

i think people forget a lot of the awesome midway games, not just the classic classics but the ones from the late 80s and early 90s

this will be my short midway tribute:

besides capcom midway was one of the only reasons i went to arcades when i was a kid, and im sure a lot of other people here went to arcade to play the same games i did

*bumps midway museum*

rampage

tron

spy hunter

I used to play NBA Jam until my eyes and hands hurt. I couldn't be beat on the SNES.

I'm curious to see what happens to LOTRO.

R.I.P Midway, MK2 holds very dear memories.

gauntlet was atari :confused:

Smash TV and Total Carnage are some of the best arcade games ever made. If you can beat these without continuing, you are a god!
