I know I said we'd focus on the positive, but to really respect Midway you also have to appreciate its bad games. Revolution X was a pretty standard on-rails shooter from 1994, unremarkable in every way, bar one thing. It starred the band Aerosmith. This was an era where Mortal Kombat was making so much money that Midway probably thought it could d...
War Gods is also not an amazing game; most people would call it bad. But just as with Revolution X, it serves as an appreciation litmus test of Midway's history. This trial for the first 3D Mortal Kombat, is also an over-the-top fighting game, that's main selling point was its finish moves. It's the perfect example of how Midway struggled to move a...
Midway might have hit it big in the arcades with Space Invaders in 1978, but 1983's Spy Hunter holds up much better. Fast, colourful, and fun, it's the perfect arcade game and shows just why the company was so respected even before Mortal Kombat. The less said about the 2006 reboot starring Dwayne Johnson the better, and most people understandably ...
People act like video games have come a long way as an art form and that feels unfair. Way back in 1982 games were asking important moral questions like, "What if you were a knight riding a flying ostrich and had to hit the heads of other knights riding vultures?"
If you are thinking to yourself, "Isn't Pac-Man a Namco franchise? How did an American company help develop and publish the equally iconic follow-up?" Firstly, congrats on the good gaming history knowledge, and secondly, the answer is "By breaking the law."

The Grid is one of the best games you'll probably never get to play. Developed by Ed Boon, John Tobias, and their team between Mortal Kombat 4 and Deadly Alliance, The Grid is a six-player, arcade-only, multiplayer shooter.

Speaking of games that would never get made today, NFL Blitz was a series that seemed to revel in the over-the-top violence and danger of American football. Whether it was being able to run illegal interference on the opposition or performing wrestling moves on the other team, there's no way this game would get made now. That's probably for the bes...
If you don't yell "HE'S ON FIRE!" every time you throw some paper into recycling, or a teabag into a mug, then we can't be friends anymore. This game has given us so much, from ridiculously lopsided rubber band AI, to big head modes, and some of the best announcer lines of all time.

Stranglehold is memorable for a lot of reasons. It was one of Midway's last big games and sits alongside the long-delayed and eventually cancelled This Is Vegas as two of the biggest money pits that led to the company's bankruptcy. However, it's also a wild game in its own right; part Max Payne, part Hong Kong action flick, the director of Mission ...
Psi-Ops is the game I think of when I think of Midway; it's a PS2-era shooter that didn't quite have a triple-A budget, and was far from perfect, but it has a great gimmick that's better than it has any right to be. That gimmick is some of the most satisfying telekinesispaired with some of the most ridiculous ragdolls of the era. Psi-Ops won't ever...
