New this week
July 10th, 2008 by xamountWe’ve got two new premium games this week. But! We also just launched an update to our online browser play. The initial beta release had eleven games all in one gigantic package. This new version has a proper game downloading framework. Which means we’re no longer limited to jamming in a few smallish games. Today we launch with over 40 of our emulated games available for quick, online play. Start at the front door. Or see the full list here.
AND! Leaderboard posting works! This is going to be big news for Monday Leaderboard Tournament gamers. If you don’t have the full GameTap Player on your work machine, you might still be able to get your practice AND scores in during your lunch break. Or smoke break. Or game break. Or… we need a boss button now maybe?
Check the full list of titles below. Some big names in there: Metal Slug, Super Street Fighter II, Magical Drop III, Twinkle Star Sprites. And more are on the way. There might even be a tiny easter egg of functionality hidden in this new online play release — one that should make playing these games even easier.
