This one hurts


“Midway drops the axe and “Midway Games West” (Formerly Atari Games Corporation) lays off the remaining 30 employee’s working there.” (link)

The last vestige of the original video arcade game developer is gone. I guess I’ll fire up my various “arcade greatest hits” collections and play some of my all-time favorite Atari arcade games in tribute.

  1. Tempest
  2. Asteroids
  3. Star Wars
  4. Missile Command
  5. Stun Runner
  6. Battlezone
  7. Gauntlet
  8. Xevious
  9. Breakout
  10. Dig Dug

A reverend wanted to telephone another reverend. He told the operator, "This is a parson to parson call." A farmer with extremely prolific hens posted the following sign. "Free Chickens. Our Coop Runneth Over." Two brothers, Mort and Bill, like to sail. While Bill has a great deal of experience, he certainly isn't the rigger Mort is. Inheritance taxes are getting so out of line, that the deceased family often doesn't have a legacy to stand on. The judge fined the jaywalker fifty dollars and told him if he was caught again, he would be thrown in jail. Fine today, cooler tomorrow. A rock store eventually closed down; they were taking too much for granite.
