Unreal fgames are by Epic, midway was thier publisher for most things though. Be easy enough for them to find another publisher though

I've always steered clear of anything related to Midway as I've always found whatever I have played to be utter arse.

Pac3y · 13 Feb 2009 at 09:56

Sad to see this, have to pay some respect for the mortal kombat games at least.
