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

Lets just hope the sale figures continue like that.
Then it should move fairly fast.

And to everyone who doesn't own it already: Buy it. Wing Commander is awesome.

Pretty sure I have WCP already on disc but this comes with the expansion pack so, bought :)
Nice ... Lost my Privateer copy somewhere so now got a new one :)
This will go fast... then again i thought Ultima UW 1+2 would go fast and it was around for 3-4 hours...

Krisk7: Nice ... Lost my Privateer copy somewhere so now got a new one :)
Now if only 600 other people could lose their copies... *grins evilly*

whocares44: Who is coming up with these numbers? Rough......
The pattern is simple: 1:2:3
For example, NWN2 was 700 in 1st round, 1400 in 2nd and 2100 in 3rd. There's very few exceptions like Jack Keane 2 (GOG got smart :)
If this takes longer than 30 minutes I'm seriously disappointed...
Anyone got a list of freebies?

yeah --- i did not mean gog guys did a typo and intended to sell less copies --- i was trying to say that 750 will take a lot of time and that would have been better to decide for a lower number
All right. One down, four to go, with a ten percent chance. Sucky odds. lol.

zlep: That is a danger when buying games based on nostalgia.

The seasoned professionals avoid this problem by adding enough old classics to their backlogs that there's no longer any time to actually play them. This allows one to preserve the memory that, say, Ultima IV had really immersive graphics. :-)

SpiderFighter: Kind of a tangent, but it always amazed me how the Nintendo versions of all the Ultima games always looked better than the PC versions. I can't think of another game series where that was the case.
The original Ultima games are so old even I can't play them. Has anyone bought Ultima 1-3 and actually played through them?

Ungunbu:
What has happened with every other game?...... A hint...... They have all sold ;)
and again

garrus74: And here I thought GOG wisened up and are going to put 200 copies for every game *sigh* - guess not.
If they did, Planescape : Torment, The Witcher 2 and Thief 2 would be gone in a flash, I´m pretty sure about that=).
