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 was sure I was going to witness the end of this sale today. No way it's happening now.

nijuu: ahhhhh so you are the dev :).

jfelsman: lol yeah It's in pretty early stage but I had to move recently so never got to release an update for a while. Back into it now though :P
Looks interesting=).

stevieknix: Star Trek: Judgement Rites. Every mission took place in a different, and specific, solar system, and there were loads of them. If you went to the wrong one you would be attacked by an enemy ship. There was a star chart in the manual that listed all the systems, so when they told you to go to Cardon 4 or whatever, you'd have to find it on the map, to avoid being blown up by Klingons.

zlep: That reminds me... I would kill to be able to play Star Trek 25th Anniversary again. I pulled it out a while ago, spend a good deal of time managing to find a 3.25" floppy drive to install the disks, and then found that my sound card is apparently so advanced that at the time the game was released it was considered magic. It hums, it squeaks, it buzzes - it definitely *doesn't* sound anything like the Enterprise or its crew. :-( Made the game unplayable for me.
What's the story about the rights to all the Star Trek games? Is it that difficult to get them remade or repackaged or whatever?

So how many people have gotten so tired during this sale that they have considered the merits of doing one, or all of these.

dsross: Ok I'm bored. I have a Legend of Grimrock Steam copy to give away.

I'll give it to someone that 1) uses Steam, and 2) will actually play it.
avatar
MasterofClassics: I will play it!
And I use steam!
PM me your email.
I liked the demo, so I got it. Hooray for demos, I was gonna give it a miss otherwise...

I think I still have my boxed copy of Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, somewhere.

Draggon: The List

Aye, we all know The List is a mighty thing. But just like everything else, The List has evolved...

I found this of interest - the FIRST incarnation of The List:

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/special_promo_fall_insomnia_promo/post120

Here is the first plaintive plea for guidance from The List in its Third and Final Round Incarnation:

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/special_promo_fall_insomnia_promo/post10725

Of special note unrelated to The List, the appearance of the Jack Keane who-shall-not-be-named's appearance in the Third and Final Round:

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/special_promo_fall_insomnia_promo/post10776

Another sorry soul begs for insight from The List:

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/special_promo_fall_insomnia_promo/post10819

And lo and behold! The power of The List raises JohnnyCash from the grave to deliver unto its disciples!

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/special_promo_fall_insomnia_promo/post10858

For a while, confusion reigned over The List due to its blinding power:

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/special_promo_fall_insomnia_promo/post11070

In the confusion, a burning question is asked... and answered!

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/special_promo_fall_insomnia_promo/post11124

Another true follower decides GoG'ers might want to know what's left to come:

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/special_promo_fall_insomnia_promo/post12351

My personal first fondling of The List (oh, it was so nice!):

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/special_promo_fall_insomnia_promo/post13786

Here, you can almost taste the power that is The List! It wants to be made whole!

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/special_promo_fall_insomnia_promo/post14015

A GoGidian pronounces The Commandment of FREEBIE Games (It is Known!):

The List gathers its power!

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/special_promo_fall_insomnia_promo/post14467

The amazing gogbot finally sees the light, and, The List shows its true form and bursts forth like a Phoenix in it's most recognized and powerful version!

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/special_promo_fall_insomnia_promo/post14532

Sure, it went through several more iterations as we lent our blood and tears to the effort. And it will eventually dwindle away to nothing, but - in the meantime...

ALL HAIL THE LIST!!!

Seriously, folks - thanks to all the GoGlodites that had a hand in maintaining The List through this all-important third round. It was much appreciated. And hey, if you got a little enjoyment from this recap post and happen to have a spare key for Jade Empire.... <ahem> ;)

Oh, right...

On a side note, of the 33,000+ posts in this thread, more than 23,000 of them are from this Third and Final Round which started here:

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/special_promo_fall_insomnia_promo/post9702

Okay, so I got a little bored while Jack's Sword of the Pit was Keaning....
Great stuff!!

I have the CD Version of Star Trek 25th Anniversary and it runs fine under Dosbox for me.Be awesome though if GOG could clear that and JR but the copyright issue must be too heavy.Blade Runner on the other hand will somehow not load properly at all for me.BR also needs the GOG treatment.

Nah, caffeine pills + coffee are way more effective, and easier to do while staring at your screen without harming your computer.

Not I. I don't like the taste of coffee, and I certainly never put soda up my nose.

CorranHorn: Looks interesting=).
Yeah Currently I am redoing the entire UI and and adding some more features.

Want to make different mode's for victory like having to purchase all the planets in a solar system.

Also make it so you can travel to new systems etc.

AttObl: I would get the eXceed stuff, but I already got them.

They're great games, but the 2nd one is the best IMO.

JoseWisemang: Lol, i gave out all three during this sword of the stars sale.
once we break 100copies left mark I'm putting up Kings Bounty Warriors of the north
:)
Nice~ I won't get Warriors of the North because I still need to play Crossworlds.
@ Draggon
Really liked that post +1
