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

I think IHNMAIMS has bested me, for I have no Thief2 and I must sleep.

peanutsticks: My favorite thing about this site is its made up of gamers who value good gameplay above superficial graphics. When someone here mentions a game and says, "Its good," I take immediate notice. One can really find some amazing gaming gems of days past on here because of it.

And I gotta say its just about the most trustworthy gathering of gamers I've come across.
Yeah, if you ever wanna go on steam, everyone is always complaining about anything made in the 90's.
An 80's game will come out on steam and everyone's reaction is "6$ FOR THIS SHIT?"

sbenrap: Anyone with a copy of Assassin's Creed they don't want? :}
Only after I get my copy of Lords of Midnight. :)

Kaitu: AWESOME! Have you ever checked out OCRemix? They have awesome remixes of video game music through (pretty much) every generation.

skeletonbow: No, but that sounds pretty cool, got a link by chance? If not I'll just do a search for it.
Here you go! Wish I had posted this earlier so everyone could have their own, personalized Insomnia Sale soundtracks. :-)

Briareos262: its suppose to be a really good point and click game. granted I have yet to play. I will one of these days tho >_>

McSpain: And was censored in Germany leaving the player unable to finish it. So basically first time german players can get to ending. ^^
wow that sucks. glad you can get the uncensored version finally. yeah censorship in games in some countries was sometimes common back then on certain titles and probably still is now. I remember how Fallout was censored in some places for a good long while with no children you can harm, heh

Unfortunately I don't have a key for that :(
IHNMAIMS now purchased.

I think that's me done for this sale.
Trying to get some kind of idea on how long each remaining item will take to finish, but each one can go sideways if the amount on deck is too high. Crap.

Yeah, I can't believe nobody realized that taking out ONE COMPLETE CHARACTER could have some impact...

Unfortunately, there has also been a bad side to it - some indie devs started to make games with bad graphics ON PURPOSE (lazy bums!), calling them retro. it is in NO WAY retro, it is just lazy!
We don't like old games, because the graphics is worse! It's the content! It always annoys me so much! Retro! Pfff..

When it comes to Steam adding the older 90's games I just laugh at the price knowing that I can come here getting it for a better price and may get a bonus [making-of, ost] stuff Steam doesn't give.

*And Im not knocking Steam by any means*
I have a mouse and I must scroll.

They sure were! I have 4 of them in my basement still, all working. Haven't fired one up in about 8 years though, but I had fun playing Raid on Bungaling Bay with it last time on a 65" TV which was not something I ever could have pictured myself doing in the future back in the 1980s. :) I've been getting the urge to dig them out again sometime soon for a C64 nostalgia party of sorts with friends from that era. :)
