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!

Brosius: Second worst Heroes bundle on sale ? O.o The heck GoG, I thought you wanted epic classics on sale, not disrespectful failures of a franchise.

ngageman: Oh come on it's not THAT bad... OF course is not Classic Heroes I-III(IV is bastard child for me) but V is imho second marrige children risen with love and care... VI is like big greedy uncle.
Funny thing, Everyone is bitching IV, and I've been negative about it for a long time myself. But if you want to make this game justice it is rushed, it is unpolished, it is unbalanced but it is an actual *improvement* on the classic scheme. Thinking about all the tiny details that I didn't like in III, they did get addressed in IV (admittedly not always well). But skipping IV because it is half finished is like skipping Fallout 1 because it is half finished. If you are into the genre it is a crime.

Later installments (have yet to play VI to make any oppinion) may be great games in their own regard but could be called by a different name and you would not notice the difference. Hence what we know under the HoMM label ended at IV.

Czapens: I hope I didn't miss Heroes 3 Complete? Or did I?
It came bundled with a pony... and a puppy.
By which I mean no, you didn't.

Edit: Sorry, I've noticed just now I might have come off as mean, which was seriously not my intention. It is sleep deprivation speaking.
And so far suprisingly few titles of interest for me. They keep omitting the ones I expect...

Awesome another game i'm not interested in via this awful sale
Posted January 30, 2014
Eh..... I feel like It would be better off saving your money for S2 from what I hear.

Guess GOG's still throwing some curveballs. Either that, or the Escapist got their story wrong. Figured it'd be Witcher 1 but got Sam and Max instead. Course, the person who wrote the story misspelled the title of Legend of Grimrock, so apparently their double checking leaves a little to be desired.

Fixed that for you. :P

I cannot understand you people. Sam&Max season 1 was the first great modern adventure after some depressing years of Syberias and stuff, one adventure that made me even angry thinking "is it that difficult to be this good?". Greatly written, with great puzzles, with great characters.

They might mean a Witcher game, so there still may be a surprise. ;-)

ok, sam & max, the first thing i bought in the time machine event

i already have several copies of it so i bought it mainly for the bonuses which i don't have, at least i think i don't unless they're bundled with the steam version which i also own.

At this point, they're kinda screwed either way from the accuracy angle, unless GOG plans on doing Legend of Grimrock or Witcher 2 as years completely different than what's listed on their product descriptions. They're both listed as 2012 releases.
