Midway Europe head Martin Spiess has bought out the management division of his former employer and will now run the company as Tradewest Games, which published games Double Dragon and Ikari Warriors in the eighties and nineties.

Enfolding the UK and French offices into one, Spiess plans on staying in the publishing business.

"We are very glad to have acquired the rights to such an internationally well-known brand of such tradition in the gaming industry," Spiess told MCV. "Under the name Tradewest Games we will as of now be acting as a European full service provider in the fields of game distribution and publishing.

"We have access to a wide-reaching global network of game developers and international partners from all relevant areas of the games industry."

"This is a brand representative of tradition, a name under which a well-known North American game publisher operated between 1986 and 1994," added a company spokesperson.
