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

Periastron: Roguelikes have been around for quite some time. Wikipedia has a decent summary:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike

Ha! I didn't type fast enough and someone else posted the Wikipedia link before I did. Anyway, The Pit is easily worth $2, if you like this kind of game.

wanderlust76: Well a lot of the reviews of this Pit game say it's based on a lot of luck such as the type of ammo you get and so...what's your opinion on that? I'm thinking about getting it.
Roguelikes are partly about luck. This one is my favorite of the recent. I like the original a lot though.
I am just waiting for someone to post Jack Keane so I can finally get a copy.
How many of you guys are actually new to PC gaming? Like you made the jump from this console generation (360,PS3) to PC and now are just discovering the classics on GoG?

I ask because a lot of the questions and "look what i bought" lists are of games that anyone gaming the last 5-10 years probably has or had.

Im not trying to say anything bad just kind of curious.

Carl13: Nearly sub 100 on Sword of the Keanes: The Pit of Despair...
It might hit 0 by the time I win the PowerBall.
Try the original Rogue, it's free.

If they're anything like me they have most of these games on disc in boxes on their bookshelf and are paying $2 to not have to get up and walk across the room and open a box to play them :)

wanderlust76: Nah just never heard of Rogue back in the day. I played some of the old C64 and Atari computer stuff though.

Khalaq: We used to do timed runs of Adventure on the 2600. Too bad I don't have a working system or the family could still enjoy it. They really knew how to make games, back then....
Hahah I never did finish Adventure now that you mention it. Now there's something to put on my bucket list lol.

I went from crappy PC to console to PC back to console and now I'm a mixture of the two.
Fallout 2 is still one of my favourite games.

Or in some cases, it might be to get away from annoying DRM schemes.

Bear in mind a lot of people may be replacing games they had years ago, not buying them for the first time.

Yup. Hundreds of boxed copies, many unopened.
Searching through my purchases in other sites, all I got is a Bioshock 2 Steam key
