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!

So, what are we guessing for 1999? I'm thinking it will be SS2.
I remember trying Cannon Fodder ages ago and it seemed a simple arcade shooter with some squad tactic.
Worth 1.5$? Mm.. not sure, also many say that on Amiga it's better..
Damn my human failings! I've had to sleep so I've missed a few I wanted to buy.

But I don't get the dates? For example why was SimCity2000 listed under 1989? I thought it came out in 1994.
Cannon Fodder? Haven't even heard about that game before.
1993 should have been Betrayal at Krondor or Master of Orion, both masterpieces.

I'm hoping for Thief. Or was it 1998?

I guess they choose Master of Orion 2 for 1996 ;)
Waiting for Daikatana to be the year 2000 entry. Given the general theme of games in this promotion supposedly being groundbreakers, GOG could put their usual sense of humor into play and post it as a groundbreaking example of developer hubris and blinding, catastrophic egotism.

I wish it would be lower than the $2.50 offer which is what happens all the time. I specifically held out on the GMG offer so that I could get it from GOG.

Well, the promo announcement does mention Deus Ex which is a 2000 game so...

True. But it would definitely be funnier if Daikatana was put out at .59 cents, causing people to sit around and wait for it to take 5 hours to clear solely from it being so cheap that everyone who wants to see a car wreck for next to nothing ends up buying it.

We'd have another Jack Keane then. And we can't have two of those now, can we?
Wait... Oh sh-

This needs to happen! Please make it so GOG!

Edit: awww, Daikatana was 2000, so it won't make it for Deus Ex being that year.
