For those who are Gametap Subscribers running Gametap on 32 Bit Windows Vista, you will be happy to hear that Gametap has released an update this morning that cleans up the sound problems many have encountered in Windows Vista. Previously when trying to play the classic titles such as that from the Arcade or even Genesis Category the sound was scratchy and unbearable at times.

For some of you out there that subscribe to RealArcade's GamePass subscription service , you may have already received a letter in your email box that on the 27th, the price is going up to $9.99 a month. This, is outrageous. First Big Fish Games shows RealArcade to the door by discontinuing the distribution of their games on RealArcade, then we have the forums censorship scandal, and now this. A price increase. They are starting to get very greedy. Luckily I stopped my subscription service quit...

You are probably upset yet frustrated that you cannot play Gametap on Windows Vista right? Well according to their customer support area, on their scrolling ticker, Vista Support will come out on the 15th. This amazes me as lots of companies are scrambling around in record time to get their apps to work with Vista ASAP. So hang on tight guys, for those of you who are being deprived of your classic gaming fix, its worth the wait.

This is done to prevent minors from accessing material that may include betting like behavior , use of alcohol , and other language that parents do not want their younger kids to take part in.

I think that kids should not have access to this material in the first ...
