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!

Yup.
I swear - watching SimCity2K die is like some epic boss raid in an MMO!
You should check the most recent review of SimCity 2k. XD

randomengine: I am going by the front page sales algorithm. Currently Might and Magic is still tops, but its hard to say if some of those sales were pre-sale. It is possible for a game to stick around longer than another and have less sales depending on how the +1 is utilized.

Cavalary: The M&M pack was also in the full M&M bundle deal during the winter sale, so depending on how far back that list counts, it can have quite some head start.
I am thinking around a weekly basis. The current ones on the list are from the Nordic sale last week and the 7th guest sale. The Winter sale items are not really on the list and I cannot imagine the Nordic sale outsold those items. In all honesty we may never know accurately, but we have a rough estimate either way.

ALH: Yup.
An unfortunate reversal of the "Keane incident" as I've learned.
Can anyone tell me what sense an upvote makes, without buying the game? I mean the people who are interested in the game buy it and upvote it automatically. All other people are waiting for the next game in sale. So upvoting it for 1 second is just trolling by artificially stretching the waitingtime until the next game will show up.
1983 Zork Anthology $1.79
1984 Ultima 1+2+3 $1.49
1985 King's Quest 1+2+3 $2.99
1986 Might & Magic 6-pack: Limited Edition $2.49
1987 Space Quest 1+2+3 $2.99
1988 Police Quest 1+2+3+4 $2.99
1989 SimCity 2000 Special Edition $1.49
1900 ???

Good point.

Clearly the only way to kill off sim city is by loading up your copies of the sims 1,2 or 3. then having a good old fun time killing as many sims as you can. sooner or later, they will run out of sims to build and take care of giant sim cities.

I actually gave SimCity a +1 before I bought it so I gave it +4 in the end.

Some people +1, maybe not to troll, but to give a title they love more time to be on sale for people to buy.
