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!

I guess about a year ago GOG gave Torchlight away in a free promo for 24 hours. I got two copies (i think that was max per account) and gave one to my buddy with a Mac. We tried it for ten minutes and moved on. It's just (yet) another Diablo clone and none to interesting. Definitely don't recommend it (though it's definitely my gaming genre).

First Torchlight is like beta of Torchlight 2.
And Torchlight 2 is game for like 2 hours.
Just play Diablo and Diablo 2.

HypersomniacLive: Looks like it won't take long though, there's a constant flow of massive -1 sec. If this keeps up, I might even catch the next game before I leave for my doctor's appointment.
-1ned it for you, so you don't miss your doc appointment ;)

undeadcow: The last three games on sale should be Unepic, Legends of Grimrock, and Spelunky. Perhaps the guessing game is over.

IAmSinistar: As is my interest in the sale, if so. Already have Grimrock, and no desire at all for the other two.
Unepic is not a bad game at all if you enjoy Metroidvania, it starts out as a fun platformer with upgradable loot/stats/spells but then gets real mean spirited with puzzling twists. I enjoyed Unepic a lot.

00dwan: Hmm... do I want Torchlight?

Flaose: If you somehow don't already own it and liked Diablo II, yes.
I guessed I missed the giveaway :C

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?
avatar
Buenro-games: No. But if a game annoys you being on your shelf (game list), go to the bottom right of the game you want to make disappear and in gray click on the *hide game* button and you won't have to stare at the offending games ever again.
well...it was more of an 'i have a game someone else wants and i have no idea why i bought it'-thing^^

graspee: Can the timer go higher than the initial 1.5 hours? And if you buy multiple copies of the game at once does it give 3s for each one? I was just doing back of the envelopes and if you had $12k you could have extended the witcher sale by 5 hours or something.
It can. That was the case with DX and some other games.
Probably. I mean, each sale extends the time, not each buyer.

Torchlight is awesome!

Get it and then get the mods from any # of fan sites.

The game is a Diablo style game that you can play as a Fighter/Range/Mage.

Well worth it.

Yes to both of those questions. The timer for Deus Ex was basically stuck at 130 minutes for at least one or two hours before it decreased even by a few minutes because it sold like crazy.

EDIT: Forget what I said about the second question. I missed the "at once" part. Sorry.

Yes it can, DX did it going as high as 2:15:00 - 2:18:00. And you can't buy multiple copies on GOG, you have to make separate purchases for each copy you want. And that shortcoming assures that each purchases adds exactly 3secs.

my receipt says June 18... the witcher one just happened in November, though.

stg83: hahaha.. GOG is really trolling us with this one, I am so glad this isn't the insomnia sale otherwise we would have had another keanetastrophy on our hands. :P
Not necessarily: at $1.49, there would be a lot of pity buys.

The name alone puts me off. Massively tired of references, and memes, and snark, and lolz.
