Let's do the time warp again*!

Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for a fascinating ride to the early days of PC gaming and back again, with 30 excellent titles selected from the years 1983-2013, available up to 90% off (that is for as little as $0.59!). You'll find amazing games in amazing prices featured one by one on GOG.com main page, and before the sale is done you'll be able to complete your very own display of gaming history on a budget below $65 (because this would be the cost to get every single game in the sale).

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!

BoxOfSnoo: I was hoping for Wing Commander 1+2 for 1990 :( now I have to wait for 7-8 more GOGYears to see stuff I am interested in...

randomengine: You just got lucky! :)
Haha off by one error (at least in my mind). +3 seconds for all of you!
Oh no, we're still at the beginning of the 90s, I'll have to pull an all nighter (don't want to miss anything!)

I don't want to miss anything either. Better make some coffee.
Wing Commander may be around a while and some of these will stick around longer without being downvoted as much as some of the earlier ones.
What's 92 looking like?
Alone in the Dark 1+2+3

I predict Alone in the Dark 1+2+3
I agree. Alone in the Dark trio coming up next.
I have to say, this Time Machine thing is brilliant. What a great way to keep us tuned in periodically.
What they really need to add is a chat room because this forum thread is on fire.

But will it last as long as the insomnia sale board?
hmm we're fast approaching the golden age in which I started playing games. Which is a bad thing... most of those years will pass me by during my work hours tomorrow.

We need a Keane to stall the sale for several hours like it happened in the Insomnia promo. Keane is the hero who saved us from insomnia back then.
I can't recall how long the insomnia sale lasted (I didn;t last as long).
But the night is young, and we're just creeping into the 90's. I suspect this decade was the golden age of gaming for a large portion of GOG's market.

Keane allowed most of us to sleep during the "insomnia" sale!
Be sure not to miss 1999. One of the best game years until now imho. Unreal Tournament, Alpha Centauri, System Shock 2, The Longest Journey, PST...The list goes on and on.
I'm going to guess 2000 will be a future choke point with Deus Ex. Popular game that will sell fairly well should keep it going a while.

Another could be 2006 if they put up Neverwinter Nights 2. That game flew out of here during the insomnia sale, so a repeat here would last a few hours.
Hopefully there is an insanely popular hot selling on the block within the next few hours, that would jam things up nicely. If SimCity 2000 can hold it's own for almost 4 hours and Might & Magic nearly the same then as we approach the middle 1990s there should be some hotcake titles.

True Story. NWN 2 went out in about 5 minutes flat each time it was up. I would have probably missed it if I didn't already have the game.
