Don't know if this has been posted before, it's an old page... I just ran into it on another forum.
The following pictures were taken in May of 2003, when Midway decided to close their Milpitas facility. The Milpitas facility was the old 'Atari Games' building. I was able to get some pictures, before everything was moved out of the building. These pictures are of the employee cafeteria, the lobby gameroom, the hallways, and the warehouse areas. I was able to obtain and preserve the majority of what you see here. The rest of the items were retained by Midway or sold to employees. Their are also hundreds of other items that are not pictured, including 100's of industrial design sketches, game manuals, and a 20 year archive of NOS game flyers.....plus other secret items. Stay tuned.....

Anyone ever noticed that it is an Irish Star Wars Cockpit in that warehouse and not a US one ? Very strange !
