PC gaming service GameTap has just announced a partnership with the folks at Microsoft Games to bring several of their classic PC titles to subscribers of the service.
U.S. and European subscribers will now have access to several of Microsoft's oldies-but-goodies from PC's yesteryear:
- Age of Mythology
- Age of Empires 2
- Rise of Nations
- Freelancer
- Fable: The Lost Chapters
- Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries
- Zoo Tycoon series
“We’re thrilled to add to the library of great PC games on the new GameTap through this partnership with Microsoft Games,” said Pierre Forest, VP of Content. “These games have proven to be some of the most played games in our catalogues in Europe, and we expect they will have the same success in the US.”
Any GameTappers out there? Will you get down on these new Microsoft additions?

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

And not to my liking... Before you could play old console games and save state... Now you only play in a browser and can't save state...
But it's still great for PC games though...
NUF SAID.
