Item 8.01. Other Events.
     On July 13, 2006, Midway Games Inc. (“Midway”) delivered a Notice of Adjustment of the conversion rate of its 7.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) to the holders of the Notes and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), under the Indenture, dated as of May 30, 2006 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. Effective as of June 26, 2006, the Conversion Price (as defined in the Indenture) shall be $8.80. On July 14, 2006, the Company also issued a press release regarding the adjustment to the Conversion Price. Copies of the Notice of Adjustment and press release are attached to this report as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively. Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 are incorporated herein by reference to this Item 8.01.
     As a result of the adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Notes to $8.80, the Company expects to recognize a debt discount in the amount of $9.1 million, of which up to $1.3 million could be recognized as interest expense in 2006. This discount will be amortized and recorded as interest expense from June 26, 2006, the date of the adjustment, to the stated redemption date.

Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in these forward-looking statements.
