MidwayArcade.com is exactly as it sounds. More than 25 of Midway's arcade classics and touchscreen games can be downloaded and played on your PC. Titles like Defender, APB, Joust, and Gauntlet II and be downloaded for as low as $5 for 3 games.

Midway has also announced a digital storefront at Midway.com. This site features more recent Midway releases, like Unreal Tournament 3 or Blacksite Area 51, for prices starting at about $10.

"The Midway brand has a long and rich history of fast-paced and addictive games from our arcade and touchscreen heritage," said Mona Hamilton, vice president, marketing, Midway Home Entertainment. "The new digital storefront at midway.com and the casual games site at midwayarcade.com allow us to deliver these classics, favorites and recent releases directly to a wide-range of Midway fans."

This is a genius idea. The only better idea would be something that could play all arcade roms something like a Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. We could even give it a cool short name like MAME or something.

This would have been a great idea about 10 years ago... by now, pretty much everyone interested in any of these games already has them.

Exactly,between multiple arcade compilation discs and XBLA offerings most everyone who wants any of these games bought them a long time ago.
