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!

If they want to show some humour, they will give us Sensible Soccer 2006.

cyboff: Thief for 1998 of course :D

ChiefOblivious: 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.
Heh, I remember Thief was my first game I bought here on GOG, immediately after they released it :D
(and as I never heard about GOG before, I had to do some research if they are trustworthy :D)

sipos: So, so far there has been Zork (1983), Ultima (1984), King's Quest (1986), Might and Magic (1987), SimCity2000 (1989, which is when the original SimCity was released, through 2000 is obviously* the best version).

Did I miss any yet?

Edited to add the ones I realized I had missed which I did see. Does anyone know if these are the correct years they were shown as?

randomengine: So far in terms of sales it has been:

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.
This thread has a nice list with times.

CarrionCrow: 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.

wrathsinger: We'd have another Jack Keane then. And we can't have two of those now, can we?
Wait... Oh sh-
It's a fun twist on GOG's part. Every single high profile game that gets put up could run as long as Jack Keane did. All the games that went in thirty seconds during the Insomnia sale, even when there were thousands of "copies" made available over the three rounds. Deus Ex, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, System Shock 2, they could all sell thousands while on sale. Then we get to scream for what we prefer to go away so the sale can progress. Might even see some amusing reverse Keane reviews. It's easy to poke fun at something smaller, but would people actually start posting fake reviews saying how shitty some of the most highly regarded games in history are?
I had some sleep. What game was there for 1992?

sbenrap: No encore?
Drat :(
No Wizardry for me...
Darn... :(

Shendue: I had some sleep. What game was there for 1992?
Star Control 1 & 2, 75 percent off, 1.49 sale price.
I see I didn't miss anything even remotely interesting for me as I was sleeping. It's not a surprise, I got all my classic games I really wanted long time ago :D I might be tempted by newer titles though :D We shall see!
I wonder if could theme park be next?

That game would sell billions of ice creams
Then you go to sleep and miss interesting games.

How stupid.

it is probably the case of Cannon Fodder instead of eg. Syndicate
