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

Psykopat89: Been away for 5-6 hours, so can anyone answer me if I missed any of these?

Deus Ex, Icewind Dale, Two Worlds 2?
Two Worlds 2 has been and gone, not sure about the others

CorranHorn: No One Lives Forever, another game that is hard to get but it´s a really good game.

mrking58: What? I have never heard of that game. Do you know who owns the rights to that game?

You missed Two Worlds 2, but the rest are still alive I believe..

no, no, and I think so. Two Worlds went, but which part I don't remember...

JayMack: What potential showstoppers are still left on the list?
I'd say our best bets at some sleep are Omerta and Shadowman.

CorranHorn: Played a lot of games and I can recommend playing these from start to finish if you own them.

Deus Ex : Goty (install the mod, even though the graphics are still impressive without it)
Monkey Island 2, one of the best adventure games I´ve ever played
Blade Runner, if your a fan of the movies then this is the game to get, sadly it´s not on GoG and very hard to get.
No One Lives Forever, another game that is hard to get but it´s a really good game.
Sacrifice, this game is very addictive, no game like it. It´s a blend between RTS and RPG and offers many hours of play since it combines spells and units based on how you play the story (you get to select which side to play for when you start a mission).

So many good games, so little time to play them all=).
I love Blade Runner. That game is just so... I can't think of anything to do it justice.
Wish I could get speedball 2. I'd love to play Speedball 2 on the big TV with a friend. I think it'd be great fun. Either powered by a PC or laptop connected to it and using joypads connected to the machines as well or one of those "direct 2 TV" things. Make it so!

Alien8n: There's a reason for that, they're remaking the film with some new guy...
avatar
DukeDuvel: Really?! And I was so looking forward to an old and senile Max!

Mad Max: Beyond the Elderly Home ;)
They could at least have made him Australian.
Are you sure it's too late to recast the part as a rabbit detective?
Oh damn. Well, thanks guys.

I don't suppose so, but if anyone's willing to trade Two Worlds 2 for Total Annihilation, I'm ready. :P

Johnmourby: Question: Is any one here just buying games to keep the sale going? I'm not but considering that these games slowly but surely sell......

ahab: They were, yes.... Have run digging through the thread though
Did you mean have fun? (no criticism intended).

Anyway I've been following this thread on and off for the past three day and not read one comment saying "I'll buy a copy even though I don't want/need it just to keep the say going".

I would have bought the TA:K game if you wanted it and had two worlds. A fine trade.

but alas, the TA:K game is gone now.

Aww... Speedball 2, how I miss those Amiga days. Though without a joystick it'd be hard to play. Still.... 'Ice cream.... Ice Cream....'

If I recall correctly it came on quite a bunch of CDs. Great game but it's been far too long for my old brain to remember why it was so great.... I think it had multiple endings and I'm always a sucker for those.

That's what I did with Book of Unwritten Tales. May keep it, may trade it but bought it to try and move it along.
