Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

mistermumbles: Still hoping to pick up Don't Starve, but knowing my luck I'll be asleep when that one comes around again.
Hey I thought so too for the past couple good times. Hang in there there have been alot of brick wall stops along the way with more than enough time to get some good sleep for couple hours ^_^

BTW im still waiting on that one too ;)

mortalkombat: did I miss Jack Keane 2 ???
:D :D :D

Briareos262: Hmm wow. Thats why I like some of these break time in slow poke games with 400+ copies to sift through. It gives one a chance to sleep and recharge when the next lineup of games rolls around =)

Alien8n: Same here, had one yesterday that allowed me to cook a meal for 4. I did have some help though, I had my daughter on clicking duty. Still didn't get any freebies though, just errors and out of lucks :/

So far I've managed to bag:
BG 1
BG 2
Icewind Dale
Evoland (for my daughter)
Startopia
Theme Hospital
Master of Orion 1 & 2
The Blackwell Bundle (for the other half, she loves detective mystery games)
Wing Commander IV
Alpha Centauri
Thief 2

Now waiting for Planetscape Torment and NWN 1 & 2
You, Sir, have a fantastic time ahead of you, filled with wonders and joy, enjoy! :D

BTW, the Blackwell Bundle is for your own half also, a very enjoyable adventure series with character portraits and voiceovers. You also unlock a developer commentary and lots and lots of voice actor bloopers. Very entertaining.

Aside the BGs and Icewind, the biggest danger of a timesink will pose either Moo2 or Alpha Centauri. You have been warned. ;-)

skeletonbow: I wonder if I were to buy Thundersnore if I could download and install the game and play it through start to finish before the last copy sells in the promo... ;)
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

garrus74: Wow, this sale's still going! Just randomly tuned in and got Thunderscape. Puzzling that it's selling so slow while the D&D titles were flying off like crazy. Maybe since it was not that amazingly well-known even in its prime time...

Have the last chance opportunities passed on Cognition and LSL:REloaded yet?
This is also the third time it's shown up.

And nope.

Maybe it's a price thingy.. should be around 1.5 - 1.9 dollars

Stooner: Miasmata was featured as free before I slept... but it went so fast that I couldn't read if it was "last chance" or not.
avatar
Starmaker: I don't think free games count as last chance either way. So if it hasn't been on sale the third time around, it will appear eventually.
Yeah... that was my doubt. Well, then there's hope, thanks...

Briareos262: nice grab bag selection. yeah the sales for Planescape and NWN 1&2 are really good and worth the wait of having the enduring to snag them when ya can =)
With the exchange rate as it is they come in ridiculously cheap over here. Might pickup Thief 1 as well, but will wait for Thief 3 on the console if it pops up second hand

Thanks! Will hang around for another while then.
Happy, I caved in a bought a copy.

Shendue: Did someone play Don't Starve already? Is it any good?
It's a cool game, very intense but also stressful.

Oh I know, most of these are to replace damaged discs :)
The only ones I haven't played before are Evoland, Blackwell, Wing Commander IV and Thief 2
The Thief series was really fun. I remember playing a bit of the first game oh so long ago.
LOL, i mistakenly picked up Rise of the Triad thinking it was the original game earlier on. Guess that's what sleep deprivation does to your brain. I wonder if that's exactly GOG's plan.
Ugh.. another game Keaning quite badly :/
