A mighty wave of teen-videogame-geek nostalgia just knocked me over as I read this article at Gamespot…

“Midway has officially announced a new compilation of its classic games for the GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 2 called Midway Arcade Treasures. The compilation will include the following games:

As Captain Murphy would say: “Holy. Crap.”
