Oh yeah, I think I heard of that game. NOT!!

But seriously to understand a company like Midway you really have to understand US life (I am originally from Europe btw). Midway made a break in the 80s with pinball and similar machines that dominated arcades prior to personal computers in every home. They didn't adapt well to the transition from public gaming to home gaming and they are now hurting like many other companies that could not adapt. This is not necessarily an indication of the global economic collapse but this certainly does not help. Like many other companies in this position, the writing was on the wall a long time ago but here is is finally chiseled in stone..
