I decided to give this service a shot the other day after learning that the service offers a free service but with limitations.

There are three types of services which are visitor, green, and gold. Visitor is free with no membership but you are limited to only 20 games that also include ads. Green requires you to get a Tap ID membership that's free as well but only allows you access to 30 games with ads. Gold, the standard membership, offers access to all the game (950 atm) with no ads but it costs $9.99 a month.

The games you'll find a game tap mostly consists of PC, arcade, console games from Atari's era, and games for all the Sega consoles. It unfortunately doesn't have any NES titles but I wasn't expecting it would because of the Wii. PC titles range from most old games from the late 80s to some more recent games.

Anyway, I'm just curious if anyone has tried game tap and if anyone likes or hates the service.

Wow, don't all post at once!

Considering most people would just use emulators and ROMs for this kind of thing, most would probably say it isn't worth the money.

But I did mention game tap offer more recent PC games as well such as Far Cry and Tomb Raider Legend.

So does the Bargain Bin

I guess it really depends on where and how you live...

Some how I get the feeling no one here bother to actually check out the service and its games.

Obvious this thread is done so here comes the lock.

And here comes the unlock. 6 replies and you decide this thread is going nowhere? Really? 6 replies? Yeah, how about we let this live for longer than 7 hours and see what happens, eh?

Gametap, I'm not really sure if it's worth the money, but one of my friends swears by it. He hasn't convinced me that he's not wasting his money, but I didn't realize how new their games were. It does suck that NES games aren't available, but as you said, it's understandable.

I don't know about Gametap when it comes to games, but that's where new Space Ghost Coast to Coast episodes were after the show on Adult Swim was canned... yet new episodes don't seem to have been made in some time :|

I was a member for a while back when I had the time. It was a great service, especially since I could play the Sam n Max adventure games as soon as they came out!

I believe its also the service that the Penny Arcade Adventures games will be coming out on, which definitely makes it interesting to me, but I've not made the investment of time to actually look into it.

That's hilarious

Heh, whatever. I locked it because the thread didn't look like it was going to go in a meaningful direction, not just because of the lack of replies.
