GameTap To Add Last Blade, Metal Slug(s), KoF, More...

- So, apparently I'm the only member of the press who logs on to GameTap's client and checks their 'Coming Soon' section - but I'm not complaining, since it gives me plenty of good info on what the 'all you can eat' PC subscription service has coming up - and for GSW-style game geeks, there's some powerful good Neo Geo action forthcoming.

Of course, one could argue that the best Neo Geo games have been a bit slow coming to GameTap - but they're starting to leak out now, with King Of Fighters '94 (the first KoF game to appear on GT) scheduled for May 10th, according to the page, shortly followed by Art Of Fighting (some time in May), and undated debuts for Samurai Shodown, Last Blade (mm!), and - especially appreciated - Metal Slug 2, X, 3, 4, and 5, to join the just-added Metal Slug.

Also listed on 'coming soon', outside the whole Neo Geo thing, is classic Interplay board game Battle Chess, which I remember delightedly playing on my Amiga back in 1988 or so, with Origin's all-time classic Ultima VI also mentioned, with an unspecified arrival date. Neato.

Comments

GameTap is the biggest hidden gem in all of gaming. Nice to know I'm not the only one who has discovered it.

Hey! You're not the only one.. it's just that Boot Camp makes some of us forget to do it ;)

Contico: Seriously. It's come a long, long way.
