There's more than just buying games incredibly cheap to our DRM-Free Time Machine Sale! We're ready to pass its steering wheel (or rather the control console) to YOU. Each game in the sale is offered for a limited time only, and how long we stay in its year is up to you! Each time you see a new game on sale you can vote to either add or subtract 1 second from the timer. Each time you buy a game, you add 3 seconds to the time of it being on sale. We begin with 1983's Zork, bundled with the rest of the Zork Anthology of 6 games in total, for only $1.79. How long will it last on the front page? You'll be the judge. What comes next, as the game of 1984? Let's find out!

Let's take a trip in GOG.com's DRM-Free Time Machine Sale! 30 great games from 1983-2013 will be available up to 90% off, and you get to decide how long each game is on sale. Ready? The technomagical gateway to 1983 opens NOW!

* "Again?", you might ask, "when did they ever do the time warp?". Well, once you embark on a journey through time, all becomes relevant and there's absolutely no guarantee that what you are doing, you are doing for the first time. In fact, that's highly improbable. After all, time isn't linear. It's more like a giant wobbly-bobbly goggy-boggy ball of gaming awesome!

Fictionvision: SimCity was the perfect time for an extended AFK it seems.

flambeau: Yeah, I just had dinner, now I'm back for the next game :)

BTW, why all the hate about Jack Keane?
There's no real "hate" for Keane. The Jack Keane game just appeared on the Insomnia sale and halted the entire thing for hours because nobody really wanted it. This is why you'll be seeing TONS of Jack Keane jokes and references. :)

Stooner: I don't think Deadlock 2 will be discounted, as it was "released" today...
avatar
IAmSinistar: It already is on discount. Not sure why the original poster doesn't pick it up now, actually.

EDIT: It's only on discount if you buy both, it seems. That's what I did, anyway.
oh, yeah, I missed that... I mean, it will not be discounted more ;p

are those games any good, btw?
I think at this point it has to be said: SimCity 2000 is keaning badly!

Who wants to take this one? Please... somebody...

Basically, in the last sale like this, there were a limited number of games, but deals wouldn't change until every last copy was sold. There was a certain game called Jack Keane that nobody really wanted (the offer wasn't good enough) and it was stuck on site for about six hours or so. Thus, timed deals that are very slow are known as Keanes, and the act of prolonging a very slow sale is known as Keaning.

XYCat: what game was on for 1987?
Space Quest 1-2-3

I got me some of that.
SC2k... Keaning for three hours. The first offer in the sale that I didn't already own.

I...
I... broke down.
I was weak.

I bought it and added 3 more seconds.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME, MY FRIENDS! *weeps manly tears*

Soccorro: I only want 2. you have to buy both games, or you will have to pay 5,99 per game.
Yah, I realised that a little late, hence my edit. I don't know how you get a deal on just one of them. Even if I try to gift it, now that I own both, I still have to pay full price if I pick only one.

No idea yet, but they seem promising. I'm intrigued by the chance to play an unknown space/management game from the old days. That doesn't happen often for me. :)
I think the popularity of SimCity 2000 in this sale is a direct result of the horrible failure that was the most recent SimCity release.

Welcome to New Jack City.

2. SimCity 2000
3. Zork Anthology
4. Police Quest 1+2+3+4
5. Space Quest 1+2+3
6. King's Quest 1+2+3

?: Ultima 1+2+3 - I cannot accurately place this item.
