Default Reasons to get excited about GameTap

Gametap just seams to be getting better and better!

comming soon: Same and Max (maybe the Gametap - Telltale partnership will lead to more telltale releases on gametap?)

comming soon: Uru Live

Beyond Atlants 2 & Egypt 1 No one has taken notice of this yet but there are two dreamcatcher games available now. Maybe more to come?

Kings Quest Series

Space Quest Series

Quest for Glory Series

Myst, Riven, Myst 3, and Uru

Infocom Text Adventures

Incredible Machine 3

Plus hundreds of other non-adventures. All @ $10 a month. Keep 'em comming Gametap!

*edit, no I wasn't paid by Gametap to start this thread but I'm pretty sure I am starting to become a ravenous gametap fanboi*

Reasons not to? Only in America ¬¬

Glad to see that Telltale will use their current content delivery system for it as well.

oh cool. yeah, i did read this article but forgot about it. I can't seem to find an easy search system, so I have to scroll down the whole lot. Anyone care to list any AGs they have on the list?

NVM I clicked on Genre and found a list. The only one I'm interested in is Riven. I'd like to see a few like 'Blazing Dragons' and 'Toonstruck' on there, as well as a few really obscure ones like 'Freak Show' and 'Bad Day at Midway'.

So does that mean you could wait till 2 or 3 sam and max games have been released and get them all for $10? or do you not have access to these games when your subscription has run out?

You’re right on both accounts. Once you are a subscriber, all the games in their library are immediately available to you but they are streamed to your computer so once you stop subscribing, all the games go bye bye.
