Posted by Zonk on from the i'm-driving-down-highway-40-in-my-big-old-pickup-truck dept.

Midway Games will be coordinating with Cartoon Network to create titles based on the Adult Swim block of shows, Voodoo Extreme reports. The shows up for conversion include Harvey Birdman, The Brak Show, and Sealab 2021. From the article: "ADULT SWIM is a phenomenon with young adult viewers who identify with the edgy, irreverent tone of the shows and the block...Clearly, lots of ADULT SWIM fans are avid gamers, and we look forward to working with Midway to make games the fans will love."

    Well, we already know what the Sealab game will be. That's where you hang wind chimes for an hour then you fight. Don't forget the balloon stage.

    It's in there too. For some reason it was left out of the summary, but if you follow the link Aqua Teens are mentioned first.

    I can't wait for that game either. I'm sure UT2K4's Redeemer will have nothing on the Quad Laser. I hear it will amaze ya.

    There's also Video Ouija and Meatwad's untitled insult game ("You stole my wristwatch." "You dumb, I already have a wristwatch! You dumb!" BUUUURNED!)

    But what I wouldn't give for a re-release of Clamdigger...

    It'd be cool if it's Brock that gets incapicated somehow and Dr. V has to actually pull his shit together, take some valium, and get in his dad's mecha suit to wreak havoc on the Monarch or some shit.
