Midway Games

Midway Games was an American video game company known for its arcade games from the 1980s to the early 2000s. Founded in 1980, it gained fame for popular titles such as "Mortal Kombat," "NBA Jam," and "Gauntlet." These games were characterized by innovative gameplay, engaging graphics, and often a competitive multiplayer aspect. Midway's contributions helped shape the arcade gaming industry. However, financial challenges led to its closure in 2001, and many of its franchises have since been revived or adapted by other developers, solidifying its legacy in gaming history.
