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

Chevette: Yes indeed. I have it somewhere in my boxes and boxes of games. Man that would be great to have on GOG... I don't think my 3.5 floppies still work.
avatar
HunterZ: Send them to me and I will rip them to images that you can mount in DOSBox and/or zip files. I pulled out some of my 3.5" and 5.25" floppies and did this a couple years ago. Still need to go through the rest of them sometime.
I mean the floppies have gone bad... last time I tried to play them a few didn't work anymore. Eventually I'll find them somewhere!

Cardian: There was a multiplayer game?
avatar
Frostyfirefly: It's going to come out next year I think, one of those "free to play", vampires vs humans... vampires vs humans in the Legacy of Kain series!? Ridiculous, most humans are cattle there.
Why did I not know about this? Well, probably because it's free to play. It sounds horrible... and the worst part is that the story didn't even end properly in Defiance...

MGShogun: Has Icewind Dale been up while I was asleep?
avatar
CarrionCrow: Don't think so. Waiting for that one myself.
If it's anybody's first time playing Icewind Dale, here's the number one tip: don't choose conjurer as a wizard specialization, go evoker all the way.
avatar
plan99: I'm assuming you mean The Lurking Horror, not Shadow over Innsmouth? Loved that game.
avatar
UncleOvid: Yes, that's right. I'm glad people know what I mean, even I apparently can't remember names for crap.
The game was based on Lovecraft's stories, so you were kinda close, lol.

Meriande: 50 left :P
Wonder how much longer^^
too much... longer...

Thanks. :)

Has Jade Empire been up yet?

UncleOvid: Broderbund, man... Did they do Kidpix? I spent freaking DAYS with Kidpix.
avatar
wackyanne: Loved Sierra - had/have almost all of them, from near earliest game King's Quest through to Phatasmagoria, in disk form at my dad's still.

Broderbund also did Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? IIRC
Phantasmagoria scared the living s*** out of me. Still didn't screw with my head as much as The 7th Guest/11th Hour though.

GhostwriterDoF: too much... longer...
lol yeah always too much XD
well I already own a gog-copy of the game lol
it really wasn't my style though...

N0w3gg: You're an ancient compared to me. I meant that I played every Half-Life and a hundred other games before even noticing Dues Ex. Dues Ex is good, but there are other games I like better that define me as a gamer way more.
avatar
Chevette: Hey! It's not nice to call a lady Ancient! LOL

I have actually found games here that I missed or was for some reason not interested in the first time around, so we all discover "new to us" games eventually. What defines you as a gamer will usually be what most influenced your play when you started early on.

For me, even more than Deus Ex or SS2, was Starflight. That is the first game I ever played for something like 17 hours straight and eventually wondered why I felt weak and awful, then realized I hadn't eaten in all that time. Hahaha!
Lol, reminds me of playing Doom, and that includes Doom 3 (some people hate it for some reason). Really hope Id can get it together, but after Rage I have no hope.

Yes I know! Here's a trailer, be sure to keep your eyes from bleeding:

Chevette: Yes, because you've played it. So you are a TRUE PC gamer. Before Deus Ex we barely knew what gaming was.... (I am being silly of course, having played PC games since you had to use floppies and swap them multiple times in order to play anything... and you had to have another blank one to save your game... IF you could save it.)

stevieknix: I remember playing games on cassette. It would take an hour to load and then I'd play for ten minutes before I just got bored.The loading screens were interesting, because it would load a slice of the image at a time, by the time the game was done loading you'd have a full image.
Oh man yes... the TRS-80 we had where I worked was popular for fooling around with games after hours. We had to start it up in plenty of time for it to load before we were off work. We were wild men and women back then. Hahaha
Brooderbund was brillant with Where in the World was Carmen Sandiago, I had so much fun with that game despite being an educational game ^_^

I still remember the line of code to boot most games. Load "*", 8,1 it was something like that =)

Johnmourby: Is the next free game up next?
You'll know when you see it....

oh wait...
Does anyone know if Wargame has already had last chance?
