As you may know, Gametap is a subscription service that allows you to play something like 700 game, including awesome games like Torment. It'l carry the new Sam & Max games when they come out.
Here is a complete list of games: http://www.gametap.com/home/game_titles/browseTitles.jsp
Well for the next couple weeks you can sign up for $5/month. The catch? You have to pay for an entire year up fromt. So for $60, the price of one next gen game, you get access to hundreds of games for a year.
I'm seriously considering doing this, because $60 is insanely cheap. It is usually like $15 per month.
ps yes I know about the thread on page 2, but I thought the new topic title would bring in a few new viewers.

The service sounds neat, but their latest commercial is horrendous. They should do the Head-On thing where they bash it themselves.

If you have a PS2 controller, buy a ps2 to USB adaptor. I think radio shack sells em, as does lik sang. I have a Smart Joy brand one, it's pretty good.
That, or get an xbox 360 controller.
Puzzle Fighter!
But since this is here, I feel this bears repeating:
Star Jacker
Not sure if this deal makes it cheaper or more expensive to play them in the long run.
Yeah, could just pay 10 buck every six months and take care of all the episodes up to that point.
Steam ID: Good Life
IT HAS PHANTASY STAR 4!!
I'm totally signing up for this.
Well, maybe. Nintendo and Telltale are in talks to get S&M Wii-bound,aren't they?
Hey, watch these videos of mine. DO IT.
Telltale announced that there will be a non-gametap version, but it comes out a month later.
15 days later. Nov 17th on Gametap, Oct 1st on the Telltale website.
Just because you'd rather have a hard copy of the game doesn't make gametap crappy. Gametap has dozens of games people scour ebay for....Planescape, Homeworld, Baldurs Gate 2...
And your ideal scenerio is unrealistic, unless you pay per game.
It's like virtual console. Sorta?
I'd say exactly like a virtual console. Infact, Gametap was announced either a couple weeks before or a couple weeks after Nintendo announced the VC service for the Wii.
Hey, watch these videos of mine. DO IT.
Beyond Good & Evil should be required playing.
It's owned by Turner.
-US only (right? am I right?)
-List of games? (If easy find'able/cut and paste'able)

CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH
Plus they pulled the business model where you can easily sign up online, but the only way you can cancel is to call them and have a rep ask you for all your info and try and convince you to stay. That's a big no no.
Also... can I like.... be unjailed.
Are you trying to run them outside of gametap? Cause that wont work. If you are, maybe it's just updating (it does that sometimes) and NOT doing a full download and third posibility: uh.... you're fucked?
Everything's fine now. I clicked "get the game" and it instantly let me play it, so whatever.
Seriously, this box is a piece of shit.
Anybody wanna confirm?
Saw this at DigitalLife today and tried it out, looks friggin spiffy. Sam and Max and tons of Street Fighter stuff. So awesome.
$5 a month seems right, and offer expires on October 22nd.
Think I'll try out a free 7 day trial before subscribing.
BTW, what are the rare games on this service?
I've never heard of Baldur Gate before ???

I tried the trial of Gametap for a few days and ended up subscribing. It's great. I can finally play Planescape! And I'm enjoying it so far.

Is SFA3 and SF2 versions online play?
And Baldur Gate sounds cool.
Planescape =
(In short, school me on every single classic PC game I need to play, and why GameTap rocks)

It's one of the best series of computer RPG's ever. It's up there with Fallout. They're based on old school 2nd edition AD&D. Pretty good story, lots of open-endedness. Overall, they are very great games, and pretty much epitomize computer RPG's.
AD&D? Fallout?
The oldest PC game I've played was Sam and Max, and maybe Civ or Sim City. I was never really a PC gamer. Then again, my family got our first PC in about 99.
