Midway Games, Inc.

Midway Games, Inc. was the Chicago-based developer and publisher formed from the public-game operations of WMS Industries in 1988 after WMS acquired Bally/Midway’s arcade business. Operating chiefly during the 1990s and 2000s from Chicago, it hosted multiple internal and regional branches (including Midway Games West and a later Midway Amusement Games unit). Key corporate activity tied the firm to high-profile console and arcade franchises; documented releases and filings associate Midway with Mortal Kombat, the NBA Ballers and Blitz series, and other action and sports titles during its console-era shift. The game entries below, including versions and later rereleases grouped in this archive, span systems such as PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Arcade, GameCube, Windows, Xbox 360, Dreamcast, and PlayStation 3.
