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!

GOG.com: Let's do the time warp again*!
Interesting promo, thanks.
One question:

Every time I refresh the front page I am able to add/subtract 1 sec. Is this intended?

[Edit} It seems it is fixed already.

Ah, the timer approach is definitely much better, as at least we can have a life meanwhile.
Next: Ultima 4, until every copy will be sold :D

triock: Hey, Keane, where art thou? :D

G-Doc: Sorry, Triock, but your Keane was in another promo ;-)
:(
Always nice seeing Zork in the spotlight, especially a steampunkish one.
Thank you GOG for doing another interesting promo like your Insomnia sale!

Here's to Keane Forever! (raises coffee cup)

jamesbuc: Im not exactly wanting Zork at all. Its a bit too old-school for me to really play. I remember trying text adventures before waay back when I had an Amiga and not liking them back then either. Oh well.
Zork's hit and miss, but you really should give some of the other Infocom games a shot if you get the chance.

They covered such a wide variety that there's bound to something for just about everyone. Nord and Bert's worth a look if you're into word play at all, for instance.
Per request, the obligatory:
LotR confirmed!
I don't suppose we could get a few hints for upcoming games could we? My guess of the total sale time is about 48 hours if each game starts at 1.5 hours, so it'll be hard to see all the games.
Let the games begin! :)
King's Quest 1 is from 1984, isn't it?
Here we go again. Do I interpret it correctly from the note, that there will be more rounds? And maybe some stuff, nobody anticipated?
Trailer was awesome. I expected you guys to announce a movie. LOL

Anyway...lets get the sales on.
Hope to see something of my wishlist
