Turner Broadcasting System, the company that dusted off old movies and TV shows and turned them into a shiny, profitable franchise, is attempting to apply the same model to video games.

This week, Turner launches Game-Tap, an online “channel” of classic video games that will be supported with a marketing push in excess of $50 million. For a $15-per-month service, GameTap will allow users to access more than 300 nostalgic arcade and console games from such publishers as Atari, SEGA, Activision and UbiSoft.
