I understand it's at any time the game is on sale. Some people buy 10 games with no free one, some get a free one first time (I got Shelter :) )

Would be nice if somebody would be able to tell me, would like to go to bed (yes, I know, Insomnia and so on...) ;)

Hoped that after Hitman I & II part III would also go on sale, but as this won´t happen I can go sleeping now ;)
Oh, but maybe GOG again has a sense of Humor and brings Arx NeverGoOnSalis at the end of this sale...

With adventures games it usually doesn't matter how old they are, unless you are put off by the graphics (and in this case the drawn ones are usually always good) because the genre doesn't get many new games and there's not much to improve anyway, except for innovating gameplay mechanics, which have stayed pretty much the same since the invention of point-and-click interface. I think there were some innovative things in the meantime, like some DS games with nifty stuff but otherwise I'm not really aware of any significant changes to the genre of text adventures.

Not really, there's a semi-random pattern. Games are grouped in 2 or 3's (we've had 1 group of 3 so far) with the 1st game in the group being random.

It may have come and gone once or even twice, but from (other people's) previous experience there should be a third time lucky for you.

Sorry, bioshark, you didn't get it right. :)
I'll be back in 7-8 hours with a summary of everything that's happened in the meantime, including timestamps.
Only I wont do the timing, I'm not that exact to do this part ;)

Ahh, finally scratched The Guild off the wishlist. :)
Now, if only Heretic Kingdoms would show up, I might yet get some hours of sleep this night...

So, considering this "code," any ideas on when Sam & Max Save the World will come up again?
