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

Meriande: I seriously am in need of theme hospital and nwn2...
If not I won't be able to go to sleep >.>
That'd be troublesome XD
Same thing here with NWN2, but I also (kinda) hope to snag Startopia, Icewind Dale and Planescape too .... Or at least as much as my wallet allows me to as it already feels pretty thin. Lol.
avatar
temia: Has there been the "Last chance" for Alpha Centauri yet? Does anyone know?
avatar
foxworks: Not yet.
Good news, then. Thanx :-D
It's been grand reminiscing with all the other old farts, but sadly now I have to work. Enjoy the sale! Don't get Keaned!
avatar
DukeDuvel: 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?
avatar
Alien8n: Can't remember. The speccy had some great games as well, Atic Atak, Sabre Wulf, Valhalha
Spectrum I remember well... those and especially TLL - Tornado low level and manic miner...
avatar
plan99: The game was based on Lovecraft's stories, so you were kinda close, lol.
avatar
UncleOvid: 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?
I don't recall any games made from actual Lovecraft titles/stories. IMO The Lurking Horror was closet in feel.
Now I'm just really scared NWN2 will be gone in seconds XD
So many people want it :)

nijuu: so what's been up since cockblock last night

JohnnyDollar: Well, I haven't seen anyone come in here and complain about how evil the promotion is lately.
I'm sure Amok will come back soon enough ;)
avatar
Cardian: 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...
avatar
Frostyfirefly: Yes I know! Here's a trailer, be sure to keep your eyes from bleeding:

Nah, I don't think it will do down that fast, you will probably have at least two seconds :D
avatar
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 :)

I had an Amstrad, I think it was. Went from that onto the NES. Next PC I got my hands on was an AST Advantage, Win 95, 1gb HDD. How quaint that is looking back.

Infin8ty: 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).
avatar
Kaitu: Really? Even if the company no longer exists and the licenses had been abandoned due to no one buying them?
Sadly, that's simply the way the laws are stated. The copyrights go into possession of the state (legal limbo) and just exist until they're bought or somebody settles something. It's really weird and honestly muddy territory. This is actually the biggest problem with System Shock 1 as well. It's really a shame.

I'm not a huge expert in it, but I do know that copyrights hold up far longer than publishing or developing companies do. That's just the nature of the beast.
