Don’t let your sleeves dangle. Don’t stand up too fast.
Continuing to add to our GameTap indies titles, Aveyond 2 is available this week. And if you loved Golden Axe as much as I did during its heyday, you’ll love giving this week’s new free title a try: Knights of the Round.

So how do you prefer to kill the snaking marble ball things? Shooting from a rotate-y thing in the middle of the screen? If so, stick with Crabby Adventure and Chameleon Gems. If you’re like me and you’d rather have a horizontal Breakout-like paddle anchored to the bottom of the screen, then you’ll like Inca Ball.

We’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.

More Interplay games get re-Interjected into the catalog for the Golds this week. For the non-Golds, we’ve set up tables for you to sit down and enjoy some Five Card Deluxe with the Dracula Twins. Also, dscott26’s WTF Wednesday Radio Arcadio is really starting to boom, so strap on your ear goggles and give his beats a listen!
