Are you an old Dig Dug or Centipede fan? Or can't get enough of early Tom Clancy 3D games? Then you should check out GameTap, a new online service which lets users play faded videogame hits from yesteryear over the Internet -- for a fee, of course.
The service is operated by Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting System and costs $15 per month. Using a broadband Web connection, an 800MHz or better processor, a gaming-friendly video card and a Windows 2000 or XP system with at least 256MB RAM, you can access a range of old or expired game titles. Atari 2600, Commodore 64, and Intellivision games are featured, as well as more recent Windows games. You can use a USB controller, or keyboard commands to play. While GameTap uses the Internet to download games, it has a dedicated client interface, rather than using a Web browser.
