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!

Austrobogulator: Nah, time just flies when you're having fun.
But time is even more fun when you're having flies. ;)
Is Ultima 1+2+3 this bad, or many people already has it, so they're subtracting seconds from this sale?
I would like 2002 to be Might and Magic 9 but only for me to complete the collection. I have 1-8 on gog and X on steam.
as it turns out... if you vote, click a link then hit back in you browser an infinite amount of votes can be cast.

Zurvan7: No love for Ultima :p

Austrobogulator: Well, I think it's more to do with the fact that we don't need an hour and a half to buy a game. And time is already added when people buy it, so there's no reason to extend the clock even more...
Not for people who live in different parts of the world and are sleeping right now xD They'll wake up and be like WTF happened yesterday?

I think that is that the people want to know what game is next, Ultima is a good game.

zeffyr: This sale might go for about 10 days :>

1st game - 1 hour, 2nd game - 1,5 hours and so on.

30th game will last for 15,5 hours and sale in total for about 250 hours. It depends on purchases and clicks ofc :>
avatar
Wurzelkraft: Well, Zork started with 1.5 hours too so it solely depends on the votes and purchases
The initial countdown time for Zork was 1.5 hours, and it actually lasted 1.66 hours. I can't even imagine how long a super popular game like Deus Ex might last. Maybe we should start taking bets to make it interesting...

Not bad at all, just not for everybody and has been on sale many times previously so most that want it would have it.

The speed at which it is dropping is that now more people are online (ie America is awake) and they have worked out what the +/- buttons are for. I expect the next few games to go even faster.
Just bought Ultimate 1+2+3. Oh yeah, bring on the sales, baby.
Just arrived home, what did I miss?
Why is there a plus second? If you don't want you will -1 second but if you want it you would buy it
