Some thoughts about Midway...

So, have you guys heard about the news? Midway filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy today. They're not planning to go away, but this is still bad news regardless. I think the only publisher to file for C11 and survive was Activision back in the early '90s. The thing is, they have plenty of good stuff in their back catalog, they just seem ignorant of it. Throw together a few arcade compilations, put up a place where you can buy individual classics and forget about it, and that's it.
Well, over the next few days, I'll throw out a couple of ideas on arcade compilations and other stuff that won't suck. Price this stuff reasonably well, put a lot of TLC into 'em, watch 'em sell, and bam, revenue that might help save the company. It might not fix all of the problems they have, but it could help a LOT.
Stay tuned, and check out my ideas for stuff like the Cruis'n Thunder compilation, arcade-perfect ports of the Rush games, digital-download versions of The Grid, and a light gun compilation that won't suck...
