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

Yarilo: I remember playing Doom and Doom 2 on my cousin's computer, then getting Doom for SNES and being thoroughly disappointed xd

Dreadjaws: What about Mortal Kombat on the SNES? Glad I never bought that one. I had the much better PC version.

My first videogame ever (the one I owned, actually, the first I played was in my cousin's Atari 2600) was Contra, in the NES. My first PC game was Prehistorik. Followed closely by Commander Keen. My first adventure game, the one that ignited my passion for them, was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. My first FPS was Wolfenstein 3D. The first time I saw it, my jaw dropped.
I grew up in an area that had an arcade. So everyone from the area would flock to it and play Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. I didnt actually buy a fighting game on a platform until Street fighter Alpha 3 on my playstation 1.

MysterD: Oh, man - Contra was a classic. Castlevania was a classic, too.
Was your NES second hand? Because I remember that thing came packaged with Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt, and the light gun.

moochorama: Not new either, pretty much started when I was about 12 (which was 23 years ago) and really got into adventures via Monkey Island. But I'm an on and off gamer, sometimes other obsessions take over, and sometimes I go back to playing games with a vengeance. I haven't always had money to spend on games, and normal game prices keep me from buying new ones, so I'm something of a serial backlister :P

Speaking of which: Is Bastion only available via platforms? II was catching up with posts and someone mentioned it again - some time during this third round (2 days ago? 3?) someone else mentioned it too and said that ladies love it. It looks nice and I'm getting more and more curious! But I'm not on Steam.

Kaitu: Sounds like you and I were same generation of gamers. I still remember swapping 5 3/4" floppy discs with the old Apogee shareware demos (Commander Keen, the original Duke Nukem, etc.). Also remember playing the entire Wing Commander series from the start. Hours plugging away on The Incredible Machine and (the crowning achievement) direct connecting, modem to modem with my friend so we could play two-player Rise of the Triad (the original). As for Bastion, I got a DRM-free copy from Humble Bundle a month or two ago so it is out there for PCs.
Modem, those where the days=). Seen War Games=)?
I remember reading about Duke Nukem 3D and playing the demo, it was quite impressive to be able to turn on things, if I remember correctly Duke Nukem 3D was the first FPS that allowed you to do this=).

Bastion is great, the narrator is what really makes the game interesting (though it can be a bit repetitive), absolutely worth getting if you like that kind of games=).

Minmataro: Thats awesome. I love reading about people gaming origins.

i feel old but im not actually that old (mid-30s), so my gaming started on the Atari, i dabbled a bit with the old c64 before getting swallowed whole by the NES and SNES.

Then Doom 2 released and it was game over. PC has been my primary gaming platform even though i owned every console from that point on.

Im sure many of you have been gaming much longer than me lol.

Im here on GoG basically replacing a lot of my old physical games that i lost over the years and discovering games i may have passed on in the late 90s due to early 00s due to a unhealthy Ultima Online and then diablo 2 addiction.
Started with "Game and watches" then shifted to consoles and later on PC games such as Prince Of Persia, Wolfenstein and Lost Vikings but what got me really hooked to gaming was the Famicom (NES) and the Megadrive (Genesis). At that time It was easier to to play with friends through consoles; we usually play console games after a tiring day of playing children's games at the streets.
