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

silentp263: Does anyone know if Wargame has already had last chance?
it has not
Come on Neverwinter Nights 2 I want to go to sleep.

Infin8ty: That's pretty much what holds everything up for the "good old games." Companies die, IPs go into limbo, nobody knows anything, it's a legal mess. It's really a miracle we have as many as we do here on GOG to be honest.

Kaitu: Abandonia.com is a good source for the ones with lapsed licenses.
Considering copyright laws. Even "abandonware" is technically illegal unless someone openly releases it into the public domain. This is where GOG has problems (and I don't do illegal things, so same here). Every computer game ever made that holds a copyright cannot have had its term expire yet. It's simply not possible (at least in the US).

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.

Alien8n: I remember loading the games from cassette, hacking the code to change the adversaries nad then saving back to the cassettes. My copy of Adventure Isle on the ZX81 had vampiric hedgehogs on it :)
Finally! someone who actually remembers the ZX81! I can hardly remembers games from it...' Worse things happen at sea' comes to mind... or was that the spectrum already?

nijuu: so what's been up since cockblock last night
Well, I haven't seen anyone come in here and complain about how evil the promotion is lately.
avatar
UncleOvid: Yes, that's right. I'm glad people know what I mean, even I apparently can't remember names for crap.
avatar
plan99: The game was based on Lovecraft's stories, so you were kinda close, lol.
Well, I was trying to remember if it was Shadow Over Innsmouth or Dunwich Horror, so...

Am I totally making this up, or was there a game of At the Mountains of Madness too?
avatar
plan99: I'm assuming you mean The Lurking Horror, not Shadow over Innsmouth? Loved that game.

UncleOvid: Yes, that's right. I'm glad people know what I mean, even I apparently can't remember names for crap.
If you haven't already seen it, you should check out http://www.ifarchive.org.

Chevette: 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
My brother had a cassette thingy. I think I only used it once, though. I liked all the pirate intros on my pirated Amiga games.

Really? Even if the company no longer exists and the licenses had been abandoned due to no one buying them?

The best thing about NWN 2 is that you also get Baldur's Gate with it ;)

The correct question would be how many more keanealikes will we get :P
