What The **** Is Gametap?!

Hum intrestnig, it says you have to download the apps on your computer.

Hummm So the games are on a database...

meaning they can be obtain very easy with soemthing such was WebSnake.

yeah but the games are streamed onto your pc.. not stored..

if gametap didnt think of countermeasures to being looted, sucks for them.

or you could just get all the system emulators and download the games you want

Gametap owns. It's NINE dollars a month and they have NES, SNES, PSX, N64, PC, Commodore 64, MAME, Atari .... The list goes on.

They currently have 800 games and the list goes up DAILY. They have some games that were released in the '00 and up.

It is great and I enjoy every minute of it.

I prefer ROMS... It has all the same things and doesn't cost you a dime.

Well, aside from being legal... They have quite a few decent PC games as well.

Including the new release of the online Myst game.

I just do it illegally... No effort, no cost, no morals, no problem.

Yeah dude, it's totally not worth the price. I tried the free trial it was boring.

but, of course, I own all of the systems and games, and I am just using the emulators and ROMs as back-ups... 😖hifty:

I was so silly.

Gametap owns. No hassle you would have searching. It's all in front of you.

Gametap FTL

How can they have ps2 games? Are they the proper versions or like the crappy mobile games u get of splinter cell etc? You can easily find these games for free on the net in rom format, except the pc and ps games etc.

edit: lol gametap is not available in my country, why does it matter where you are in the world? -.-

Hey guys?

Let's leave out the illegal talk.

Apparently the biggest barrier is legal. The licensing arrangements in getting all the old games released has to be re-done for each country.

Still, you can play the new Myst Online game on there worldwide, and they expect to branch out into the UK this year.

yikes.. ancient thread..

if you dont like gametap dont use it... theres no point bragging about being able to get roms cuz thats kiddie crap

How is that Myst Online game?

anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

I played it before when it was on a free server, the game itself can be very annoying and a complete pain in the ass at parts but it was pretty cool...and it was always fun when you'd hit a random glitch that would cause you to go out of the game boundaries.

Like how once I got stuck on a climbing wall and couldn't get down. That was amusing.

It's pretty, though 😄

Ush could answer better than I, though, as I only played briefly and am not currently playing it.

Well, the bugs are fixed.

I'd give it a cautious recommendation. It is not year clear how well the meachanism for it being an MMO will work. The old puzzle ages are fine (except for the crap one). The new ones released so far have not been great, though they seem to be more experiments than they are full on bits of new material.

The theory is great- a non-violent MMO based on player interactive plot, social interaction and puzzle solving. Bits of the execution are great. But it's not entirely come together yet.

A guy like myself can enjoy it because I am really into that kind of thing. Still, some sort of mechanism will have to justify the subscription soon.

I see no problem in talking about roms and emulators in a thread that can relate to it.

Seeing as roms are illegal unless you actually own the game, there is no way for you to be referring to them as useful to have unless it is illegal talk.
