Gamespot has an transcript and video interview with Blake Lewin, the inventor of the Turner’s new gaming network, GameTap.

Interesting quotes from Lewin:

“We’ve built a software application that allows us to emulate games from the early arcades all the way through the consoles”

“At E3 we’ll be announcing a lot more, and a lot of the publishers we have. We have over 17 publishers signed to date, and close to 1,000 games licensed.”

“We’re going to grow an on-demand service. So again, we start with these 300 games and eventually it’s going to become 1,000, and 2,000, and however big we can get, and the games will always stay on the service.”

“It will be clearly downloadable off the Internet. The obvious things–we’ll try and get it on discs, we’ll try and bundle it with peripherals.”

“GameTap will be available this fall, October, 2005.”
