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!

stg83: +1 for your generosity impaler26, if anyone truly deserves a game they missed its foxworks for helping so many other folks out by giving away their missed games. :)

alanbbent: Great sale. Great forum. And I think I've almost deciphered the Keane references. Obviously it has to do with games that take a long time to disappear, but I've read dozens of forum pages and I haven't found exactly WHY. Off to read a few dozen more...
Imagine this type of promo and a game is up that no one wants. It's still being bought by the masses just for the interest and also because everyone else is buying. Then imagine that this is not the game you really want and the next one might be. It'll be going on and on and on :P

ps. The game/series in question is Jack Keane 2: http://www.gog.com/game/jack_keane_2_the_fire_within

Edit: The internet Ninjas are faster for some reason o_O

Had to do the same. This is where I figured it out.

Yep.

On another topic: according to this list:
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/drmfree_time_machine_sale_game_list/page1

Deus Ex was the most keaneous game so far.

Also, HoMM 5 was kinda pricey, and unsurprisingly, it DIDN'T keane much at all.
I'm surprised I missed Deux - I need to check more often. Is it the anti-Keene? Oh well, hopefully will go on sale again soon.

since there are many keys thrown around, i wonder: is it possible to gift games i already own? so that they disappear from my shelf and appear on another one's?
and while waiting to see if the witcher will go in more or less than 10 min (timer reads 4:07), and then watching a few more +3 secs fly by, was imagining how many sales this was generating. and how the incremental cost is near zero, whether at $1.99 or $8.99, and how I always miss out on the brilliant ideas, and then wait, there's download costs, and then I realized Witcher is an 8.5GB download, and now I'm wondering how many harddrive equivalents will be filled as a result of this sale...

wait... is it done yet? oh, nope. 2 min... i mean 4... i mean...

Perfect! Went out for a while and got back to only 2 minutes left on Witcher. :-)

No. Once it is part of your inventory, it cannot be gifted. Only games purchased as gifts can only be gifted.
