Old school saurian - classic


Sony Online Entertainment has recently announced that it has licensed rights from Midway Home Entertainment Inc, to develop and release six classic Midway games via download through the PlayStation Network. SOE adds that the first game should be available early 2007.

The six titles are: Mortal Kombat II, Gauntlet II, Joust, Rampage World Tour, Rampart, and Championship Sprint. SOE claims that each title was chosen for its multiplayer capability - a move that is obviously an attempt to boost traffic in the PlayStation Network.

Steve Allison, chief marketing officer of Midway had this to say:

We knew these titles would be a perfect fit for the PlayStation Network, and based on Sony Online Entertainment’s legacy in the online space as well as their intimate knowledge of the PlayStation Network, it was an obvious decision they would be a top company to work with to bring this project to fruition.

The minute Rampage and Gauntlet become available, I'm going to go nuts. They are one of my favorite Arcade games. I used to spend Quarter after Quartes playing those games.

I'll be picking that up. I remember how many hours I spent at the arcade playing that game. To 37 min ago, Acrade games are usually 5.99US and 6.99CND.

It's cool that good games are going to the PS Network. However, just like on XBox Live, I can get these for MAME and save a few dollars.

I would like to see Hydro Thunder & Primal Rage. Come out next then I think that would be some nice games I would want to download.
