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!

How about some... sleep? ;P
oh my...I Have no Brain and I must Sleep

not only that, it seems I somehow entirely missed the fact that 1995 was already up and running with Crusader which fortunately, i already have. or had....paid $70 for the boxed version back in the day and gave it to a friend a couple years ago.

Malek86: Good old Lara. I got TR1/3 just a few weeks ago. I only played TR1 as of now... that alone is totally worth those 2 bucks, even if it gets a little tired by the end. I should probably start TR2 one of these days, but a friend told me to skip it and just go for TR3 instead. Anyone else agree with him?
TR3 had improved graphics from TR2. But why would you give up TR2? Honestly. Why would you not recommend it? I can understand from the "TR got stale booooooo" sort of viewpoint. But skip in favour of another game? I don't get it. The fourth level in TR2 is just amazing IMO. But they really started to branch out with the kind of situations you find Lara in in TR2. I definitely enjoyed 2 as much or more than 1. Definitely. Really good addon level as well.

In 3 they brought in the dynamic lighting, and the non linearity and there are nice levels. But I don't think you should just skip the second one. I dunno. I mean I really loved it but I just love those games. If you don't like the pacing then maybe you can skip it. But there's more boss battles in TR2 as well. if you have a lot to play dunno. That fourth level is really good imo.
2 minutes have passed in 20 mins. This is the worst time machine ever :o
I wanted to start my post with "I had some fun with Lara when I was younger..." but then I realized it would not be interpreted the way I wanted it to be so...

I had some fun playing... no, wait, that's not it. Let me try again:

I used to enjoy Tomb Raider games ~15 years ago but I don't think I want to play them again, so I'll pass.

OK, how is it? ;P

Choosername: Seriously... this "offer" sucks when you can't be home to take advantage of it, be it work (in my case) or other circumstances...

I don't have the time to spend baby-sitting the computer all the time! And for those of you that will reply that i should use my smartphone - grow up. As i said, i have a job to take care of and using part of that time watching my cellphone is NOT a good idea...

So, thanks a lot for nothing GOG :( in the future it would be nice if you thought of ALL your users. I've been a member here for 5 years and bought close to 200 games. Is that worth nothing?
I find this offer way better than the insomniac sale. The more coveted games stay longer, so everyone has a chance at getting them, while the less desired ones slip on by more or less fast.

As far as not being able to get certain games right now, they'll be on sale many more times, as they've been before. You'll get your chance again :) And also, community here is great - just mention what you're looking for on this forum and someone will take care of that for you. Seriously, you people rock! \o/

mrking58: I asked that a few hours ago. Apart from the helping others out there wasn't one

OdanUrr: Didn't a member of GOG reply that the reasoning was he didn't want the only way of adding seconds to a game to be behind a paywall?
You're right! :) http://www.gog.com/forum/general/drmfree_time_machine_sale/post1114

Yeah.This is heavy!

There's that word again. "Heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?
Damn this site needs a mobile version or app, checking GOG on my phone was horrible.
I enjoyed playing the first Tomb Raider on my Sega Saturn (though i never finished it) so i just bought TR 1+2+3. Looking forward to play the first one again but i'm afraid i won't get far... :D

Lol, keep the references coming...
Thought to drop in on the forums about the Time Machine sale and to my delight the Keane reference is still in high regard!

Kudo's to you all!!

(and yes, I have witnessed the original Keaning... oh my... it's getting dark all of a sudden.... getting sleepy... cannot thhiinnkk.....dwwerrrrrllllll....
Vaguely put out I missed the start of this. Games from the 80s would have been my preferred buys.

It really does need an app. GOG is getting a little behind the times despite having a time machine.
it'd be nice to have some sort of list (preferably updated in the first post of this thread) of games that were on this sale ... I don't have time to sit at the computer whole day to wait for games to change, but I'm quite curious what games went on sale while I was away

They have seen the future why build an app for something that will be dead soon as we all have retinal implanting
