Let's do the time warp again*!

Welcome to our [url=http://www.gog.com]DRM-Free Time Machine Sale! 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). Are you ready?

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!

stg83: Yes, I believe the expression is Crocodile tears...*ducks to avoid all the high heel shoes and sandals*.
*not fast enough to avoid a couple of pairs of leather, high heel boots*

Potzato: You don't cry for missing Remorseless crusaders.
You don't "manly" cry for missing Remorseful paladins
But it is deemed acceptable for remorseful crusaders, which is not the case here, so there is no need to wimp up !!
I like the way you think ;-P

Impaler26: I'm afraid that the $0.59 game will be Super Hexagon... :D

randomengine: Man, even at 59 cents I wouldn't buy Super Hexagon. I just cannot stand twitch games.
It's not even worth 59 cents, IMO.

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
The dead rising from the grave!
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

spoderman: That's a very real possibility.. ugh. I hope it won't be that game.
The 90% off game should be a $5.99 title, in order to get that price. This is because we know the lowest price will be $0.59, and the steepest discount 90%. If Super Hexagon was discounted 90%, it would be $0.29, which is lower than the lowest price. Ergo, it's a $5.99 title.

Q.E.D. ;)

HypersomniacLive: Don't cry, there will be other sales for Crusader, I'm sure it'll be yours before long.

Side question - is there an equivalent expression for women regarding tears?

stg83: Yes, I believe the expression is Crocodile tears...*ducks to avoid all the high heel shoes and sandals*.
There's also "crying like a little girl"... *takes cover behind stg83.

No, Super Hexagon is unlikely because the original post explicitly states the $0.59 game will be 90% off a $5.99 title (SH goes for $2.99). That and there's some mention of "amazing games."

"...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..."

BillyMaysFan59: How about Jack Kain 2: The Reaver Within?
Yes and also the epic conclusion of the series, Legacy of Keane: Abundance. ;)

DubConqueror: For me the fun is just beginning. I'm a late-comer to PC gaming, only started gaming (aside from some BBC Acorn games in my teens) in my thirties. For me all those eigthies and nineties games with pixelated graphics are a tough bite. The age of games with fond memories only comes into speed in 1999 (OK then, not in my thirties but late twenties): A brief history of PC gaming
I began with the Atari ST. My father had a whole 3 row container of floppy discs from Europe of pirated software for it. Some games asked in the beginning, "Would you like to cheat? Yes or no?" That computer I had mostly to myself, and then I grew up on watching my dad play DOS games like Star Control 2 and Master of Magic, while I played the Lucasarts Adventure games. I still never have finished Secret of Monkey Island 2 due to a bug that would crash the computer randomly on the last sequence.

I got into the whole MMO thing on MUDs and then when UO arrived. I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how to move in the game, I pressed every single button on the keyboard and until I discovered the only way to move was with the mouse. I played about every MMO since then and completely and utterly soured on their design. They cannot really exist in this format and those games will be mostly lost to history.

Anyone tried opening both the videos of 21st century fox and 21st century Schizoid man of my previous post at the same time?

It sounds quite schizophrenic. Luckily the psychosis lifts quick as The Doors' song is just a short one, no risperidon needed.
