Midway Games
Sal DiVita has worked for
Midway since the early 1990's on various projects performing multiple jobs including motion capture, voice work, art direction, programming, and design.
DiVita's first in-game appearance was as a NON Native in
Revolution X. He then took on the role of a lifetime as the infamous Beefcake Boy in
Cruis'n USA.
Sal first appeared in the
Mortal Kombat series in
MK3, where he portrayed four different characters including
Nightwolf and the cyborg ninjas
Cyrax,
Sektor, and
Smoke. His work as these four characters would also appear in
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3,
Mortal Kombat Trilogy,
Mortal Kombat Advance, and
Ultimate Mortal Kombat. He would go on to play
Scorpion in
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. His name is listed in the "Special Thanks" section of the credits for
Mortal Kombat 4 (for motion capture work he provided),
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, and
Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks.
DiVita's first programming job at Midway came in the way of
WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game. His arcade work continued as he joined the original design team for
NFL Blitz. He used his arcade sports experience as an art director for
MLB Slugfest 2003 and
Red Card 2003. He also lent his hand to the design of the
NBA Jam remake in 2003. In 2005, DiVita lent his voice to The Warrior character in
Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows and again in 2006 for
Rampage: Total Destruction.
Sal is an unlockable character in both NBA Jam (original) and
NBA Jam T.E.
