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

Knofbath: In any case, your original post in on the previous page for me, and none of the newcomers are likely to see it by now.

Cardian: Time's up anyway. I really liked all of your Haikus and it's a tough decision. I deem the winner *drumroll*

CarrionCrow. I think it's quite emotional and it even adds some kind of new perspective in the last line. Also, I really wanted it to go to someone who wanted it for himself.
congrats to the winner and Cardian for giveaway, +1
Damn, it seems like I missed La Mulana again.
Well, I hope it will be appear on christmas sales, since I haven't played a good puzzling platformer in years.

GabiMoro: I wonder how Heroes 3 will sell. First round went very fast but I heard it did quite slow in the second.
depends on how many they put up. Its the 11th best selling game on GOG atm (ahead of FO2 and the TW1 and TW2)
Sadly I missed Theme Hospital...
Well it was bound to happen since the sale lasted too long

I've been really curious about a lot of the Titles in this sale, especially watching them in the third round. Never Winter Nights 2 had 2100 copies and sold in about 3 to 5 minutes....

wackyanne: I joined this site this spring, discovering that it carried the Sierra classics. For some reason I've kept missing the sales on those, and I hopped onto this sale hoping some of them would come up. However, once I grabbed Duke Nukem 3D for a laugh at a price less than most pay for a cup of coffee, I was hooked. I've been picking up the D&D games since I've enjoyed a couple (NWN1 and BG1) and I've been getting back to the tabletop instead of the laptop these last several months. Now, I'm waiting up for NWN1, since I'm not sure we even have the physical copy anymore.
But you know what? It took this sale for me to discover this great community, and to even play the free game I got in some promo or another months ago. It was Torchlight, and it's awesome, and so I've two great discoveries, and a handful of bargains, to thank GOG's Insomnia Sale for.

skeletonbow: Yeah, I started out drawn here by Tex Murphy freebies ages ago, then another freebie I forget, then occasionally I'd come and see if there were other free games. That was before I paid enough attention to know what GOG was really all about though. Once I actually stayed long enough to read about the DRM-free nature of things and their philosophy and really peruse the site I kicked myself for not being more observant before! I decided that at some point I would start buying games and really get into the site but I just wasn't into a big gaming binge at the moment. A half a year of keeping an eye on their newsletters and finally a sale came on that sparked me to impulsively make my first purchase. The experience was great and one of the easiest checkout systems ever, so a few days later -> another sale, and another and .... before I knew it I was mainlining games right into my jugular and snorting them. LOL
I've done that with a few too many other things (Kickstarter a bit, tho' I'm mostly thru that addiction), so I'm glad that I'm sticking to a fairly reasonable budget for this sale. Six games, 5x$1.99, 1x$1.49, and I'll probably only pick up one more (NWN1). Though I've been tempted, (The Witcher 2 for instance, Thief 1/2/3, Assasin's Creed, System Shock 2, Expeditions: Conquistador, Magrunner, Ultima 7), I've been good. Although Ultima 7 I had ready to buy, then my system crashed :/

Briareos262: he is right. That is why I this this is the best promo I've seen from gog, for as long as I've been here at least.
I recall reading some complaints during this last Summer sale because not many individual games were getting deep discounts. Well, now they're here. ;)

People need to also remember that GOG doesn't handle the volume of sales like Steam and some of these others have. I think it'll only get better as GOG grows their catalog and customer base.

Ah! so bad, I missed Assassin´s Creed. Anyway I got 4 games i wanted, so is ok. I am not going to play not even the 5% of the games I have in the next... year? XD hahahaha

Kaitu: Found this site entirely by accident when I realized that my backup copies of Alpha Centauri/Alien Crossfire had gone missing. I was so upset and spent FOREVER pouring over the web to find it. Eventually I found this site and the rest is history. :-)
Sounds like the loss was a gift in disguise eh? :) The cool thing is that the GOG versions of these games are pretty much all way better than owning the actual original games, at least in many ways. No more fumbling with CDs/DVDs to install, or worse - to play, with some games like the Tex Murphy ones requiring frequent disk flipping on the originals... ugh.. :) No DRM of course so none of the hassles with that nonsense (manual lookups, codewheels, Alone in the Dark cards (argh), and other nonsense), various goodies, updated to work in current Windows... Hard to beat! :) I've bought many games here that I own on floppy/CD/DVD, as well as buying games I had "copies" of from before and ditching the inferior copies for a more legit one from GOG. :) If I had it my way, all my games would come from here in the future. Just need to be patient enough for all the big publishers to wake up and smell the GOGfee. :)

NWN 2 is normally priced at $20 on here, the discount to $4 was too deep to ignore. Plus there are all sorts of modules available for it online if you don't like the main campaign.
