Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) announced today that it will be bringing six classic Midway titles to the PS3. The first will be available for download sometime in early 2007.
The games in question are Mortal Kombat II, Gauntlet II, Joust, Rampage World Tour, Rampart and Championship Sprint. The games have all been picked for their multi-player modes. They'll be playable either in your living room or against anyone you fancy over t'internet.
Steve Allison, chief marketing officer for Midway, said "We knew these titles would be a perfect fit for the PLAYSTATION Network, and based on Sony Online Entertainment's legacy in the online space as well as their intimate knowledge of the PLAYSTATION Network, it was an obvious decision they would be a top company to work with to bring this project to fruition."
It's been a good long while since some of these titles saw the light of day. It'll warm the hearts of many a *ahem* mature gamer to see console networks being used to bring fresh life to some retro classics.
