Damn...you could get every single arcade game that Midway ever put out for that price(hell it would probably cost more)...

I think their glory days ended about around 10 years ago anyway, ever since 3D became a mainstay they haven't (to my knowledge) put out anything that sold very well. I remember buying the first 3D mortal kombat, thinking how awesome it was going to be.

Their best games were Marble Madness and NFL Blitz and Gauntlet Legends, and Joust :)

I LOVED marble madness! I wish it was on XBLA but instead we got some dumb "Marble Blast Ultra" that is very much like Super Monkey Ball

They went wrong when they freaking would mis-manage budgets on games, and then mis-market them. I'm sure boon will end up somewhere though like a cheap whore... (hopefully raping the MK license to allow for capcom vs MK)
