GameTap Grabs Classic Cyan Title & The Last Express

http://www.gamesetwatch.com/tle.gif Man, the guys at GameTap are piling on the intriguing game content for their 'all you can eat' PC subscription stylee service - they just signed up Jordan Mechner's cult 'The Last Express' and Cyan's Spelunx working on PC for the first time - info follows below from their official PR.

"Among the highlights [of the new GameTap update] is “The Last Express,” Phoenix Licensing’s debut game on GameTap. When The Last Express was originally released, it received Editor’s Choice awards from Computer Gaming World, PC Gamer, and dozens of gaming websites, as well as being awarded the “Best New Adventure and Role Playing Game” by Games Magazine. Created by Jordan Mechner, the mastermind behind the incredibly popular “Prince of Persia” series, “The Last Express” is an indelible adventure experience."

"While Cyan is best known for its “Myst” franchise - with “Myst Online: Uru Live” debuting on GameTap this holiday season and “Myst,” “Riven: The Sequel to Myst,” and “Myst III: Exile” currently available in the network – one of their past game gems is “Spelunx and the Caves of Mr. Seudo.” This is an educational game cleverly disguised as a cave exploration adventure. Previously only available for the Mac, it is now making its PC debut."
