Atlanta, GA – August 26th, 2009- Today GameTap announced the expansion of their distribution rights with long-time partner Atari. This new agreement grants GameTap rights to a selection of Atari’s stellar Windows games. The deal also renews GameTap’s rights to distribute Atari’s classic console and arcade catalog. Atari’s games will be available through GameTap’s games-on-demand service and digital retail store.
Atari’s unique heritage brings with it an impressive catalog of titles that span decades of gaming history; combine that history with GameTap’s tradition of chronicling games both old and new and players have a match made in heaven. From Atari’s earliest successes in the arcade, to their most recent PC hits, GameTap celebrates the full breadth of Atari’s legacy.
A few examples of the new games headed to GameTap via this arrangement:
• Alone In The Dark ®(2008)
• Indigo Prophecy®
• King’s Bounty
• Master Of Orion®Series
• Neverwinter Nights Series
• Test Drive® Unlimited
• The Witcher®
• Arma Combat® Operations
“Our users have been begging for a number of these titles…” said GameTap’s community manager Matt Marchini. “it’s great delivering games I know they’re going to love.”
“We are excited to extend our current relationship and grow Gametap’s catalog of Atari titles,” said Todd Shallbetter, Director of Royalties, Atari, Inc. “Gametap continues to be an important partner for Atari in the growing digital distribution landscape.
If they're still negotiating new digital distribution deals... hey, I can hope, can't I?

chautemoc: GOG soon? :)

Since most of those have been on Metaboli's catalogue for a while it looks like a plain carry over. I don't see that improving our chances of having them here...

I would also like to see some of those titles here, mainly The Witcher.
Hey, finally managed to finish Mirror's Edge. As a game it's not really my cup of tea but it certainly is an experience every gamer should try. So, both you and the people who told me to skip it were right ;)

GOG said The Witcher would come here eventually, but they have to let it age..to drop the price and all.
Good stuff. :)

Didn't know that, must have missed it somehow.
Having a gog version on the shelf will have kind of a special meaning. Really looking forward to that.

Ah, thanks for the link.
It looks like it's both a price and drm free issue. Well, at least the drm free part of the equation has been solved since then :)
