Yes, it kicks MAJOR ass.
I used it shortly and plan on getting it again.

like he said, download emulators
why would you pay for that shit? It's targeted at morons who don't know how to emulate and/or download shit

You can't get everything they have in the library through an emulator/rom

But... a 15/mo subscription for old, old titles?
It looks neat, but I think they are way overpriced. Especially since many of the titles can be had online at other sites.

Anything you can't find emulated (old pc games) can be found elsewhere on the Internet. grats on paying monthly fees for a service that targets idiots

if it was $5 a month, it might be worthwhile

then what other games are there that i can't find on an emulator? i want examples. then i want to prove you wrong. arcade game of any kind? MAME. any system or arcade system ever made i can find an emulator for. if it's got PC games, i don't know why you'd pay money in the first place

That isn't all of them, but it gives you a good idea of what it has.
It adds games to the library constantly, the site doesn't update the titles as often as it adds the games at all.

all of those games except maybe intellivision games are on my friend's xbox harddrive atm with appropriate emulators... except windows/DOS etc. games that can't run on xbox.
seriously, you can bit torrent entire system libraries of roms for any of those. i would only pay for gametap if i really didn't have any motivation to get the games myself :p

Trust me, I know.
I have every console game ever created on my computer.
I wouldn't dare waste my time hunting down those hard to find PC games
