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!

InfraSuperman: Here are some of the games that allegedly will come up in the course of this sale, according to a news-post on The Escapist yesterday:

1990 - Wizardry 6+7 (either this or Wizardry 8, the article didn't specify which Wizardry title(s) it would be)
2000 - Deus Ex
(2001 - Wizardry 8)
2007 - The Witcher
2012 - Legend of Grimrock
2013 - Spelunky

Also, I think GOG really missed a chance by not picking Jack Keane 2 to represent 2012.
An according to this:

1995 - SimCity 2000
1999 - Rayman Forever
2011 - Unepic

HypersomniacLive: ...So if GOG doesn't carry a game for one release year, the mystery (30 games, 31 years) would be solved.
Just a thought.

DeMignon: According to CarrionCrow's list above that'll be 1984, but wasn't one of the Ultimas released then?
The numbers don't look right on some of the items, to be sure. But every year posted was what GOG put on the games' description.
I see : ) I hope to see some awesomeness in the mid-later years <3

Ultima III was released in 1983 and Ultima IV (which is a free game anyway) was released in 1985. King's Quest 1 came out in 1984, though, as some have already pointed out.
Final countdown for Zork!
I'm hoping GOG will stealthily release Day of the Tentacle when 1993 comes around. And then discount it by 50%

>_>
<_<
The longest last minute ever.

Quit buying the game people!! :P
Well, since the oldest game in my wishlist was released in 2001, I guess now's the time for me to go to sleep.
Oh, and it's a pity the 1983 game is not Digger, I used to play that one a lot (I know it's not on GOG; still a pity).
Where did a -4 and a +22 come from?

yyahoo: Hmm, so this new promo mechanic has made the first sale last.... longer? An hour and half sale that, as of now, will end in 1 hour and 34 minutes.

:/
SO 90 minutes here or 13 hours like last time...hard choice.
Well crap, no sleep for me I guess.
Next is... Ultima 1+2+3.

Another pass from me sadly. I have a feeling I may be passing up a few of these really early ones due to just finding them near-impossible to play nowadays.
Ah nevermiiind...
