Impossibly trumping the news that Universal has won the rights to Atari’s Asteroids, Warner Bros. has apparently succeeded in its bid for rights to most assets from bankrupt Midway Games. For only $33 million, Warners gets the Mortal Kombat franchise*, Joust, Spy Hunter and more!

Joust was cool back in the day, but we’re picturing something that will either have a huge special effects budget, or NO sfx budget– either seems likely — and will be bad regardless.

Spy Hunter, on the other hand, might have promise.

*We finally caught MK: Annihilation on TV last night. It was so very not good.
