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!

lucky_bastard: 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?

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

Nope, you can only gift codes that you bought as such, i.e. you remembered to tick that box at checkout and restrained from redeeming them yourself. Once a game is on your shelf you can't pass it on.

Heroes of Might and Magic 5 was $4.99 (75% off); I picked it up.

greggk124: 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.
There is some misunderstanding here regarding the "keane" and "keaning" terms' origin. It all started with the Insomnia Promo, which was a very different type of promo, from this one: in Insomnia, the game on sale would be offered with a fixed number of copies (say, 300), and until all of them were purchased, you could not get to the next game. This presented a problem when a game that wasn't exactly beloved, or wasn't wanted at the price (discounted it may have been) was there, for hours and hours... and the game that did this most spectacularly was Jack Keane. That game just simply... failed to sell at all. There were a lot of "pity buys", just to see it go away. It was also hilarious, because people were trolling the review section of Jack Keane, writing humorous and *obviously* fake positive reviews, in a toungue-in-cheek attempt to increase sales of the game. LOL, my stomach hurts just at the memory of those reviews, that shit was that damn funny!

HTH
Although they state there is no reason to refresh....my finger wants to do so otherwise.
Gah. What a waste of waiting!
Torchlight - NOOOOO!!!!!
Torchlight :)
Hmm... do I want Torchlight?

This post should be made into an entry in the FAQ. Label it the keane saga, or legend of keane. :-)
