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!

madarchon: Funny, I just went to Half Price Books and picked the Blitzkrieg Anthology for $1 unopened

Soccorro: That doesn't really help me -.-
Yeah. sorry realized after I posted you weren't in the US. So it would not have helped.

Fesin: It's also rarely on sale, as people have noticed, so you definitely shouldn't miss that chance.
agreed,
I would just hate to have to wait five or six hours for the next deal
It said that Gothic will work on XP and Vista. Will it not work on 7 or 8?

Cavalary: For those jumping on Gothic, do notice that it only lists XP and Vista as OSs. If that's accurate, I imagine plenty of people who didn't notice will be rather pissed in a little while...

liamphoenix: Works fine on WIN7 Pro for me.
Ah, ok. Just noticed it and thought I'd post a lil' warning. Guess they should update the gamecard then.

anyone tried this with windows 7 and troubleshooting it to XP AND having it worked?
:-: you scared me from buying it

Don't know about 8, you'd have to pay me (very well) to use that, but it works on 7 just fine.
I think it would be a brilliant idea if GOG.com released the first Journeyman game right after this Time Machine sale. There's no better time than then GOG - do it!

Not sure, I guess it depends on the individual system. I've had mixed luck with xp games on my 7 operating systems. But the jury's out on Gothic.
Had no problem to run it on windows 8.

Piccollende: It said that Gothic will work on XP and Vista. Will it not work on 7 or 8?
It works for me on Windows 7, but since it's not officially supported, there are no guarantees it will work for you as well.
Finally in this promo a game (Gothic) I wanted that I do not had in my library (King, Space and Police Quests offered were to old for my taste and I have no nostalgia for them).

I almost failed to notice that I do not have it, because I already have Gothic 2 and 3 from GOG. So at first I was kind of..blah Gothic is on sale..and after a few minutes it struck me..Hey I do not have Gothic o/
Hi GOG team. Mac user here.

The TIme-Machine Sale seemed fun in the beginning but it gets more and more disappointing.
From 1996 onwards there are no Mac compatible games so far! I was really hoping for titles like Jagged Alliance 2 or Stronghold HD but instead got games that I wouldn't buy even if I was running windows.

And, for Bob's sake, who likes Rayman's ugly face?

I don't use Mac's but I second their inclusion in the sale!

Er, I happen to have bought Rayman, love that series. :)
AH! forgot to ask about the game:
1. is the game a rage-quit possibility? I LOVE LOVE l-o-v-e grind games but from the reviews you can get killed with one hit! or fall via glitch and die...or trip off a ledge and die...
2. this a economic game: ie find items via grinding(<3) and make stuff?
3. you control one character with one fighting skill(?): can you become like the archer whos a tailor and level 99 chef? or a rogue who fights with a sword AND a bow

thanks for clearing the game up for me! it looked like a morrowind type (with the stats and multi-class) then it seemed like a bash and slash pre-set
I played Gothic 1 from disk on my win 7 machine about 2 years ago - no problem. I would imagine the Gothic 1 version on GOG would have all the necessary patches to run the game. One of the cool things about the CD version was that the game ran without the CD in the drive. Highly unusual for an oldie.
