It’s that “Lite” service that will debut on the Mac in late June, with the deluxe pay-to-play service to follow later this summer. The Web site features access to a collection of dozens of individual games through a “Lite” player including classics like Robotron 2084, Joust and Space Invaders, Neo-Geo games like King of Fighters ‘95 and Robo Army, and more. GameTap recently began an online “portal” site billed as GameTap Beta.
GameTap is properly licensed for all of those games, however. While emulators that have been properly reverse-engineered are perfectly legal, it’s generally illicit to exchange the ROM files that make them work. Many of these games are available for play already on the Macintosh using existing emulation software and ROM image files.
