No help for me now.
January 23rd, 2007 by xamount(Every week or so, we round up what others are saying about GameTap and present a sampling of the chatter. Let us know if you see other GameTap-related posts out in the wild!)
- Kehra figures us out and gives us a hug.
- Morningmist83 sounds like an emo kid with a new addiction.
- GammingGirl answers the call of Culexor’s rant with video proof.
- sumiyoshi writes about getting on the Super Breakout leaderboard (as hi_tsukasa) — and in the process gets added to my buddy list. Looks like I (along with AW regular batzradio!) need to keep working at this:
- Purple Dragoness is having fun with Myst Online’s co-op puzzles and her “beloved GameTap account.” Oh, and she works for TiVo (I’ve been a fan since my first box back in ‘99)! So she definitely knows the value of a good interface.
- Ashke is an MC Chris fan who shouldn’t feel required to bow.
- Joe seems to have uncovered a decent source for keeping up with GameTap’s latest releases.
- Freelancers Marketplace has an interesting project up for bid. Good to know there are always other chances for Dinah and I to design “3D navagation” if this whole GameTap thing falls through.

I totally know what you’re talking about. Personally, I was always better at Arkanoid 2.

Uh-huh, too late, I see what you did there.
Good of a time as any to ask, since some of my folks have been rumbling about it lately - OS X support. They’re seeing the Myst Online Mac beta coming up and all, and wanting to squeeze more info out, wherever they can. I’m assuming that based on the timing, the OS X version of GameTap will launch with Myst Online?
I thought it was interesting that Cider software was mentioned too, which makes me wonder if there’s going to be Mac-specific games on GameTap OS X or if some of the Windows content will be running through Cider. I’m wondering this because there’s a poster concerned that Sam and Max episodes, being Windows-native, might not be available for the OS X version.
Whatever you’re allowed to talk about, please do.

The Myst Online OS X version is NOT synced up with the GameTap OS X release. Other than that, I’m afraid I can’t say much more.
The good thing for those of us with Intel Macs is that GameTap runs beautifully via Boot Camp. But I too can’t wait for the day when I don’t have to reboot… (That said, there will ALWAYS be games that don’t make the jump from OS to OS.)
