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).

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!

OdanUrr: What would happen if the 2000 game weren't Deus Ex I wonder?

The time machine sale is kind of like a flash sale, but with a slightly variable and customer influenced time scale. In some ways this sale is better than the Insomnia sale, but most people probably would prefer fixed time slots of known size to check up on every n hours like your typical 4 or 8 hour flash sale elsewhere. What's not clear is whether this promotion is intended to catch people's attention who are not currently customers and draw them to GOG.com or for existing customers or a bit of both. I presume it's a bit of both but with an emphasis on the sale's dynamic drawing curious minds from elsewhere towards the site.

I've been periodically checking up on it but not religiously glued to it. Only missed one game I wanted so far and a very generous person gifted it to me which was very nice. :) Went to sleep figuring I'd miss all kinds of games I was interested in but as luck would have it all the games that came up while I was asleep turned out to be either games I already have on GOG, or ones I wasn't particularly interested in so I got lucky insofar as not missing out during my ancient slumber. ;oP

I think I already own probably 90% or more of the games from pre-2000 that I actually want, or at least most of the ones that GOG has in its catalogue. I'll have to revise that statement if and when the LucasArts games come to the site though, or any one of a handful of other franchises people often mention (ie: XCOM... although I bought the full collection of that for Steam a couple months ago).

So, now we're at 1999 and going to 2000 in a few minutes... I need to be alert for the rest of the day as most of my wishlist is in this year range! Hopefully some cool things will show up that I can't say no to. ;o) Jack Keane 2 at 95% off anyone?

jsjrodman: Personally i think the original PC edition of SC2 is almost a distinct experience by now, and SC1 (which is quite different and not a cult favorite) is an interesting game as well (light strategy, most fun with a friend), so if you play and enjoy UQM, don't be afraid to pick up Star Control 1+2 on G O G.
Yeah, given the low low price when on sale, I'll most likely pick it up even before I get around to playing UQM.
Damn I really didn't want to buy things until now, but that is the occasion to own Deus Ex it on gog.
Deus Ex GOTY, this will take long. I hope another one will go up before I go to bed.

Valts007: Legacy of Kane: Soul Reaver. I have psx version, any difference PC and PSX version?
Keyboard controls?
Deus Ex. I think I beat this game when it was newish. I don't remember a lot about it other than it is good, so I think I will revisit this game +4 from me.

Welp, deus ex just confirmed it can go over 1:30

Time for a (long) nap, I guess.

(oh great, someone thought up the joke already)

stg83: Yes, it is a rather obvious pun I get no creative points for this one. :)
I'm sorry - I will let others get in with the Keane jokes next time... :p

DubConqueror: 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.
What would happen if you threw Bad Religion's "21st Century (Digital Boy)" in as well? Would the average human brain melt?

Deus Ex Ma-Keane-A, anybody?

Coffee-up-the-nose. Thanks a lot!
