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!

CarrionCrow: Getting the feeling that I might be the only person not buying this. Kinda interesting in a way, since apparently, Serious Sam 2 has still pissed me off to such a degree that it's killed my interest in this one, even when it's the cost of some pocket change. Hate Serious Sam 2 SO SO SO SO much.
I have most of the Serious Sam games on Steam (due to how cheap they were in a bundle wayayyyyyyyy back) as i wondered what the big deal is about. They are fun for a while... then i hit a brickwall......probably just me but it gets tedious (i liked Painkiller Black better) :/

The_Blog: I can't find any patch. You probably mean the Site 'World of Gothic'. Do you have a link maybe? Because the GOG version + In Extremo would be superb!

You may need to install this in order to get it to work, I can't remember.

Great thanks. Gonna try them out tomorrow and play up to chapter 2 to see if it works. But I think it should.

I upvoted your post. Thanks again!

Well, that depends on the point of view.
Me, I bought SSFE soundtrack for $0.59 and got a game for free.

Finally bought a game on this sale. Not buying Serious Sam for 0.59 would have been a crime. I have fond memories of this campy irreverent take on FPS games which I was lucky enough to stumble upon when it first came out.

To those not buying this for any reason, you sure are letting a great opportunity pass you by.

The first two are pretty much Teleport Spawning:The Series. That's the whole thing. That's the tension builder, that's the only thing to really worry about. Add in a boring array of weapons, samey fights against the same few enemies, and not much of a story, and it adds up to something that works for novelty, but dies on replay. "Do You Like Exploding Enemies Teleported 2 Feet From Your Face?" would also work as a title since that's probably the biggest gimmick of all. And of course, there's Serious Sam 2 waiting for you if for some reason you actually get invested in the story or gameplay. And Serious Sam 2 can go violently and repeatedly penetrate itself in the eye socket with a sabre saw until it convulses and dies.

Edit - removed potentially offensive language and added a visual that makes me smile more.

You know what, yeah. What the heck. I spend more on a single track in iTunes. SSFE has some unexpected music going for it.

Haha, wow. Serious Sam: FE jumped all the way back to 1:30 for a while. (I confess, I contributed to that.)

I'm sorry I don't remember the details I went through, because it was few years ago when I played, but I did install that patch and then I did get the band playing. It also fixed some other bugs IIRC. I just can't remember if I had to install the player kit or not (I don't think I did, but I'm just not sure). I know the player kit is required for some of the modded adventures at the sight, and it's required for the new textures, but I don't think it's required for the patch, but I could be wrong.

Another thing bothering me is I keep thinking I might have had to do something else at startup in order for the patch to work, but I might be confusing that with my whole issue of getting my gamepad to work. One of those problems required me to do something different at startup.

Anyway, try it, if it doesn't work, try out the Gothic forum here at GoG. I absolutely loved this game, and Gothic 2. Best games of all time IMO up until Fallout 3 either tied them or displaced them. Before them, Return to Krondor had been my favorite of all time. Then Gothic 1/2, and now Fallout 3.

Would be nice to get some day a Sale with only RPG's and Adventure games.
My old laptop can just about run Baldur's Gate 2 & Might and Magic 6 - nothing fancy stuff like quick action FPS games...
But not complaining, it's been great fun and got many nice titles already :)

Have to admit i do like this sale. To a point.
Im actually curious - how many people are buying these games as gifts (can we expect a flood of Serious Sam giveaways in the future....), or knocking a game off your wishlist?.
Posted January 29, 2014
On the off-chance that anyone here needs a copy of Deus Ex, I've got a spare. And I wouldn't say no to Tomb Raider, if you've got it - I was asleep for that one.

Edit: Never mind, gave it away.

I'm looking at the lists of games that have scrolled by on this sale, didn't I see Police Quest 1-4 go by? Didnt see it listed in the list I just saw....
Posted January 29, 2014
With Serious Sam 1 being so cheap is it going to be up for a million years as everyone buys it? I mean I just bought it even though I own it at least twice already.

Why was deus ex up for so long btw? Just people buying it? I suppose that's the only way it can have been up, unless people were giving it the +1s for "respect". (Not complaining though, it helped me not miss anything when asleep).
Posted January 29, 2014
It's getting late, and I gotta sleep. Guess I'll miss the sales... You guys should keep adding time so I can at least get 2008+ when I wake up!

I hope they put Divinity:Dragon Commander at 90% off for 2013. Then I can say I bought a new game at Good Old Games. : )
