Midway Goes All Retro With Midway Arcade.

Midway has returned to its roots and launched MidwayArcade.com, effectively jumping on the bandwagon of selling retro games these days (Xbox Live Arcade anyone?). This means that more than 25 of excellent Midway arcade classics are now available for purchase and play on your PC.

Some of the games include Spy Hunter (above), Rampage, Rootbeer Tapper (I have fond memories of playing this in a school IT class), APB and Joust. The games are going for $5 in packs of three so it's a fairly decent price considering how much similar titles can set you back on Xbox Live Arcade.

While the prices are admittedly cheap I don't see why they couldn't have just made them flash games supported by ad's. You could say that a few people may just shrug and go back to their emulators but the keyword is 'few'. Midway is bringing these games to the mainstream who have fond memories of such games but don't particularly care about emulators.
