Midway's on the market for $30 million. We should all pitch our every cent into buying it, so we can make more Spy Hunter games.
I'm in for $30.
Atari or CDprojeckt should totally do it.
I've got 15.
What the hell happened to them being out of money by august and having vastly, some say criminally, overvalued Mortal Kombat to make the company appear more viable to possible sucke... er... buyers? There was also rumours of it being a giant scam.
I think I might buy Ghost Recon instead, I have a feeling I'd get more gameplay out of it...
I could throw in a few hundred bucks... but that would be a few hundred bucks not going into Good Old Games...
Pretty sure the latter is a better investment...
There's probably hundreds of threads like this scattered over the internet by now, if we could coordinate them then we probably really COULD buy Midway

If GOG was as big as Steam we could do it...I'd love to see that in the news.."Good Old Gamers buy Midway!" :)
Looking at wiki Midway doesn't seem to posses any good frachises to talk about. No wonder it's going under. Motral combat franchise is definately not worth 30 mil $ alone
Edit: EA could buy it to add to the mountain of unused IP it sits on ;) :P

Sorry. I just invested 15m in self-tying shoelaces. And my other assets are tied in inventories and slave-girls.
I would rather buy Interplay ..I heard their stock cost somewhere around 5-10 cents a share...

But, but this is GOG, Good Old Games, not MOG, Mediocre old games.

wow
looking at that list is actually kind of depressing. other than unreal tournament 3, i dont even see anything mildly tempting.
i guess they made some ok arcade games a LOOONG time ago

I'm not alone! :)
I actually know one or two people who could buy them for $30mil, and not go into any kind of debt for it.
But they have too much business sense to waste their cash on the company.
