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.

"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."

Why would they try to sell Gauntlet or Joust? O_o; Why? They would make more money simply offering them for free via flash and selling ad space for all the sales that shit's gonna get.

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.
