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

kecskeszarv: Seeing that here are a lot of knowledgeable gamers I have a question.

I have seen and heard a lot of rave about a few rpgs. My main gripe is, that I don't really like squad based rpgs, the only one I enjoyed is a rather odd one Fallout Tactics, but that is almost just complete combat.

I really do enjoy more soloing in rpgs and not the have a complete group.

Should this keep me from getting something like:

Planescape: Torment, BG 1 or 2 or the likes of similar big ones?

These games seem nice, but the group thing put me off.

Faenwulf: Then do not buy BG or Icewind Dale Games. trust me. I tried demos for most of them and I hated them because of the group based system.
Planescape Torment I just bought myself out of curiosity. No Idea if the gamepaly will kill it for me.
You can beat Icewind Dale 2 with just a monk. Pretty fun and crazy

mkell_226: Well, this looks like it'll take a while, so one last shameless plug before I sign off:

You can get a free copy of a fun old Sci-Fi Rogue-Like, "Jaunttrooper: Mission Thunderbolt" either by writing the author at megacorp@aol.com or sending me a PM here!

And vote it up on the wishlist: [url]http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/jaunttrooper_mission_thunderbolt[/url]

If you email the author, please encourage him to submit the game here, as it would make a great freebie and he doesn't seem interested in getting any money from it anymore.
gives me 404

RandomJC: stupid gog. exploiting me. stupid making me buy games.

Alien8n: No one is making you buy games.

NO! GET MY MOUSE AWAY FROM THE BUY BUTTON, DON'T MAKE ME BUY ANOTHER GAME!
It is a compulsion. Evil Gog. Making me a loyal customer.

foorti: just got back from duties...and im eyening homm5 too

Knofbath: 3 is considered the best of the series, but you'll probably like 5 as well.
Does GOG now have the Tutorial manual with the game? I remember hearing it was missing when they first sold it (HoM&M3).

EDIT: Happy 1000th page, everyone! Cheers!

GOG staff, is there a forum thread length limit?

elenitza: I'm actually waiting for this one... I saw a little bit of the game some years ago and I think I want it!

GhostwriterDoF: I'm waiting for both HoMM 3 and 5. They are both great games in their own right...
Agreed. Both have their merits, but I find people tend to play only one or the other due to their similarity.

GhostwriterDoF: For those of you watching these posts and not posting, get Monkey Island while it is available at this price!!!!

Tolmar: I want to buy games, but I also want to snuggle with the missus.

I can only choose one :(
There are certain positions you can use to be able to do both at the same time.

It shouldn't. BG are crpg at its finest, the very best of the bests if you like D&D. And Planescape Torment's story is just so good that you would want to play it even if the gameplay was about balancing turds on a stick while playing Jack Keane 2.
20,000th get


free Witcher 3 .... come on GOG
noo,, omerta and erica keanes should be in the end of this list.
