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

istudedinre: For anyone who cares, Legend of Grimrock is the more recent entry in the same genre as Anvil of Dawn.
The graphics are amazing, this is how you make a modern game based on "old school" games, take heed EA

Here are some games I would like to see on the next Insomnia Sale.

ryanyth: Dear GOG.
For god's sake PUT A DAMN TIMER on these sales.
Why? The games still sell every copy and you're still here looking for the games you want to buy. ;)

(I actually agree with you, but can;t see it happening unless those games continue to repeat until all copies have sold anyway. That would probably be the best way to do it.)

Hi everyone,

When Anvil of Dawn was released on GOG, Starmaker (http://www.gog.com/forum/general/release_anvil_of_dawn/post91) generously gifted it to me.

Let's bring the universe in balance and spread the love: W2VG-7GEU-TZRX-C3YM

So has this game been on long enough to be titled Kening of Dawn?

doady: Anvil of Dawn and System Shock 2 were the last games I wanted. So happy to get Anvil of Dawn at least. It looks like a very stylish game, I really like the graphics.

I won't play it anytime soon though since still have yet to play M&M 1-5 and Wiz 6-7 (all of which I own here), or any other first-person tile-based RPG for that matter.

I was really mad being deprived of free SS2 due to server overload, but I guess in the long run doesn't matter. Backlog is too much anyways. Plus there's no SS1...

CorranHorn: Looks like a game like Dungeon Master and it´s "clones", I played DM not so long ago. I had forgotten how long it took to draw a map of the game while playing it at the same time, I recommend getting it if you haven´t played it

For more info on the game that made games like Eye Of The Beholder, Lands Of Lore, Black Crypt (Raven Softwares first game, oh Star Wars fans must play Jedi Knight : Jedi Outcast/Jedi Acedemy)possible, just to name a few=).

And here's a Mix with all the games GOG sells that are similar. :)

These comments are betraying a fundamental lack of understanding of the core concept of: 'the more units we sell, the more profit we have'.

Skipping units to cater to impatient people is not going to be in their interests. They sell the same number of units either way, and make a lot of people happy with super cheap games.

I know, but my outstanding game list is huge. My quota of Dungeon Crawlers is full.
