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

REZistance: Oh we're doomed.

Retro City Rampage..... 5 hours at least
Great time to go to bed. I hope this one Keanes more than Keane did.
It's kind of amusing that GOG set up a sale to run along with this one. Going to refer to it as the "Lost My Mind Trying To Get Things From The Flash Sale So Now I'll Settle For This" sale.
omg the freebies are a joke... :(

bew1977: Seriously? 3 slog sales in a row?

You're not my real dad, GOG!

I hate you!

SpiderFighter: The TI-99 4/A was my first love! I had it wired up to a cassette recorder with a variable speed so we could tape the programs and store them (no disk drive back in those days). I think it was Compute magazine that had the games, no? Spent many hours reading and typing. Great memories. I used to make my own pac-man clones. :)

Deva: Did you get the Extended BASIC cartridge for it? Made it so much better. I still have my tapes and TI-99 in a box, and last I checked, the data was still good on them. :)

Of course, they could be dead by now. :(
I don't think we had the extended BASIC cartridge. That's amazing that you still have your old tapes! I wish I still had mine. I made a text adventure called "Death in Harding House" with original music...the screen would flash red if you died. Plus a few arcadey-type games.

You need to hook that puppy up and go for a spin!

wackyanne: TRON the programming command. I learned a bit of BASIC as a kid, b/c we had a Sinclair, then the Texas Instrument TI 99. You bought a book if you wanted more than a few games, and you programmed them yourself ;)

We had Munch-Man, so didn't have to program our own. My favourite, though, was Tombstone City, my sixth birthday present. There was always more games that I wanted than I could spend time programming tho'.

I should see if it's still in working order. My Dad still has it for sure, and my son might get a kick out of it...

Zera: 600 copies of RCR... Very poor call.
It's intended to disguise the truth. The blue guys at GOG HQ are using these opportunities to *sleep*. To eat, shower, and have lives. Maybe even get some work done.

Oh, the injustice.

It does sort of make sense.....but what do we know :D
I swear, somebody must be laughing at the GOG headquarters right now....

"Dance puppets dance!!!"
Well, I've finally crushed by tonight's Keanpocalypse, out y'all.

This is such a blast. I remember Munch-Man and TC too. :)

As long as you live under my roof, you'll love by my rules. Get it! Got it! Good!

We have the cartridges still but probably not the cassette tapes. We (my younger sister & I) later appropriated the cassette player for our own purposes. And yup - Extended BASIC, what a step up ;)
