I must have spent thousands of dollars in quarters playing Joust back in the day (along w/Galaga).

What kind of horrible, horrible management you need to have in order to go under while holding one of the most well-recognized videogame IPs in existance.

Expect a slew of game-to-movie filums #

And the requisite amount of boredom that each one entails.

Paris, 'cause she's anything but boring, except in the Hottie and the Nottie, and any other filum she's been in.

One that didn't keep up with the times. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen any PC/Console games for Midway. All my recollections of their games are arcade. And both arcades that were a stones throw from my dorm room on campus are long closed. Oh, we've got D&B now, but it's just not the same.
