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

howardc007: Yes, the power glove for the NES. I forgot want game you can use it for, but it looked really cool at the time.

Kaitu: Okay... Pop quiz (NO CHEATING): Who can name the movie that featured the Power Glove in a whopping one scene and also served as the one of the first glimpses of Super Mario Brothers 3?
The Wizard

howardc007: Anyone remember the NES that also came with the robot and the game gyroscope?

Kaitu: HAHAHA! ROB, the Robotic Operating Buddy. He was good for like two games and that's about it. :-p
And loud as hell. :)

MysterD: Oh, yeah - X-Men Arcade was good, back in the day.
I also remember TMNT and Simpsons arcade beat 'em ups, as well.

And of course, DOUBLE DRAGON! Back in the day, I loved to use that elbow move, hehe.

jackster79: I was so happy when TMNT's arcade game made it to the SNES as TMNT4. That meant I could work on it without quarters! :-)

The Simpson's one though - that one always surprised me in that it was never ported to any of the systems AFAIK, and I was majorly disappointed about that. Would like to play that one again on the PC.
The SNES Turtles in Time was my jam.... one of the few games I could beat consistently back in the day.

EDIT: Looks like someone already mentioned it. Having trouble keeping up with the posts. :-p
This movie has been mentioned once or twice in this thread already, and a couple of people (like me) referenced it. The Wizard, and it was actually just a long commercial for SMB3 (one of the greatest games in existence, btw).
So what's left besides Thief 2 and Psychonauts?

I SUMMON THE LIST.

AndyDivine79: I don't recall that one.
It´s kind of like Montezuma, the first RD is very hard, the second one is not as hard

Simpson's games.
Bart in Dreamland, I think that was the title, where you had to collect the six pages for his report.

Bart vs. the Space Mutants. I remember that one, the X-Ray specs.

Minmataro: Freaking Contra... do you know how long i played that game without knowing there was a code? i would beat it on 1 life it was the only game i played for like 8 months...
avatar
WillOfD: Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right, B, A, SELECT (for 2-player action), Start!!!
LOL my Mom refused to buy me gaming magazines so i had no Nintendo Power to get those codes.

"You're lucky i let you play on that silly machine... you dont need to read about it as well"

Man she was rough.

dal4fsu: Is that the up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, A, B start one? I will forever have that code ingrained in my Brain from the Nintendo days and I don't even remember which game LOL!
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A, then Start or Select and Start depending on how many players you want. That code has become synonymous with the Nintendo Hard culture back then.

I actually think that Contra isn't the kind of game that needs a code. Sure it is really difficult, but repeat plays really help you hone your ability to control everything and make you disciplined. I was eventually able to beat it without the code, so there's that. It's ranking by many as the "Hardest Game Ever" is way overrated. In fact, its probably the easiest of all the classic-style Contra games!
Reading this forum gives me the envy to bring out my Color Computer 3 and play Pitfall 2, Rampage and Arkanoid lol

It was pretty bad when the father was playing talking out his ass. Cut to the screen and he has like 300 points.
