surly looks nice for cheap bandwidth countries, downside obviously in RSA is you have to download the game first and then play....

Hey Necuno,

Thanks for reminding about this site. Checked it a few years ago. Could not get anything to work coz of a lot restrictions back then. This time though I installed GameTap and downloaded Metal Slug and had quite a blast, so to speak. The adds are annoying, especially the big banner while playing in full screen. Also its definitely not as fast MAME is.

Brilliant site as far as a gaming concept goes. I like the whole gaming atmosphere generated by the site and console. The leaderboard and challenge picks could also make for some really good finger-blisterin gaming times.

Though I still get the same "not available in your country, blah, blah, 2007" screen when attempting to get a TapID.

Does anyone know if it is possible to acquire a TapID from the states or Canada and then log on via the console into the challenge lobbies?
