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

CorranHorn: I envy those who are around 15 and start to play games and like the classics, when I played many of them my computer was to slow, Starcraft : Broodwar was unplayable when many units where on the screen at the same time. The last mission was to much, it couldn´t be done with my computer. Many years later I decided to play it again and this time my computer was no longer an issue, finally beat it. Such a good game=).

Cardian: When Outcast came out, I had to downscale everything in order to play it. Now I can play it hassle-free once a year. Yes, I love this game, one of the best stories ever told in action-gaming.

The only problem was when your computer became to fast for the games. I remember trying to run Ultima VII a few years back and everything was just rushing by. Kinda like Wing Commander 1 now. The GoG version of Ultima, luckily, had the speed reduced, though.
Back in dos era biggest problem was freeing up enough kb out of 640 to make them run.

Your smilies. They look upside down to me.

Must be because I'm in the southern hemisphere and you're in the northern. ;-)

But I still miss meddling with the startup disc. Shuffling XMS and EMS, do I need a mouse for this game? No, ok, good.

If they decide to run another insomnia sale down the road, they should incorporate The Keaning into the promo video.

picchioabbio: Cinematique was called.It was later used for Cruise for a Corpse & Another World
No I missed this game from Dolphin.

CorranHorn: Yes that was the name for it, Future Wars was a good game to bad it´s not for sale anymore (afaik). Played Operation Stealth? Another good game from Delphine Software, they did so many good ones like Another World and ofc Flash Back=).

Future Wars, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48ezoio3nrc
Yeah good old days of point and click adventures
Wanna know whats really sick?

I own all three thief games on Steam and I still have the original Alpha Centauri cd with box...

Those are the four games im waiting for. The other games i really wanted i bought on the first day of the sale and since then ive picked up a few impulse buys i didnt need.

THis is like my own self imposed prison, for no reason...
