As if we didn't already have enough ways to purchase
Joust, Midway has launched the "
Midway Arcade," which offers just as much quarter-pumping excitement as the name implies. The online store -- really, it's just a store -- features 14 ancients
for purchase and download in preset bundles, along with, oddly enough, $5 PC versions of select games from Midway's
TouchMaster compilation for DS. Midway's also selling some of its contemporary efforts --
in another location -- for direct download to PC, highlighted by titles like
Unreal Tournament 3 and ... what's this?
Midway Arcade Treasures! That's right, today alone, we've got two new ways to own
Joust. You know, just in case.
The full list of releases is posted after the break.
