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: 59 dollars to increase the timer by 5 minutes? Seems expensive.

PiotrxV: Amazing how some ppl think that buying game actually increase time.
I guess the same could be said about the plus/minus buttons?

It's the game's music, packed separately in an archive with .mp3's as a bonus for ordering the game on gog.

nrjank: well, they couldn't have done much more to give you a shot at it. I mean, 6-1/2 hours...
DX should have been there forever! I got a dozen copies myself, but the moment I go to sleep, people just go and let the thing go.

RAGE!!!

Oh boy, I guess I'm gonna be in for it then, but I purchased it some time ago, and tried it, and... well, couldn't really get into it.

Don't hurt me.

It's the tracks that play during the game.
As opposed to some games' soundtrack, consisted of various tracks which aren't included ingame.

Examples are myst games. Riven and Myst 3 soundtracks were sold as standalone.

Sorry for making the more impatient among you wait but I had to buy multiple copies of Serious Spam, in case of apocalypse. It's for gifting, and gifting is good. I see more +1ing on this game than -1ing so I guess others are also stocking up on this.

Serious Sam was and could likely remain the most brainless fps I ever played. It was too brainless for me when it was first released (and I'm a big Duke3D and Quake3 fan so this has something to say...) but now that I think about it, brainless can be good for once in a while. Why so serious, after all.

Oh, I won't. I may think your taste is pretty bad, but I respect other people's right to be wrong (see what I did there?).

Seriously though, I think it's an awesome game and that everyone should try it out. If once you've played it you don't like it, that's ok. I of course prefer other people to like it, but there's no point in forcing it.

Having not played Serious Sam, I would like to recommend Painkiller for the spot.

Aaaand, got it just in the nick of time.

I thought the mechanic for this sale sounded much better when I first read it than I do after looking at the time left several times and thinking, "that's not long, I can wait it out and see what the next one is before heading to bed" for the past hour with Serious Sam.

As a gamer in my thirties, I appreciate the sales I can check once/day over these timed ones.
