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!

Davane: Sweet! It's just sad that the first game - Zork - was in 1983, the year my younger sister was born. I guess that makes me older than video games! :o
My pleasure. And I graduated high school in 1983. :)
With the new Might and Magic X this sale is going to take a while. This will be a popular one, I expect.
For me the GOTY of 1987 was Dungeon Master.
That's another good old game sadly missing from GOG's catalogue.

GOGwiiisfun: I'm hoping for Pirates! Gold for 1987.

randomengine: I call BS on that Pirates release date. No way it was released on New Years Day in 1987.
Jan 1 may be added as a placeholder for "unknown day, but we know the year"
Everybody who don't own it by now should buy the Might and Magic 6-pack. Even at normal price that's the best deal in the whole GOG catalogue. $2.49 for this pack is a steal.

IAmSinistar: Good answer! Here's the little bastard in the spirit of this sale.
Cool, thanks.:)

It is pretty sad that 1987 was so long ago we cannot know the exact date of this game's release.

Well, 1983 is the year the 3rd generation of video game consoles came out. So there are two generations before that. And Pong is a full decade older in any case.

And in any case, since there was a crash, video games must have been big before.

GOG keeps surprising me every week. What an awesome ride, an epic journey back in time!

Yep, timer is just increasing now. Quite frankly, it's worth it for MM6 alone.

zerodin: Quick! Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow!
You fool! That will make all the games stutter! You will kill us all!
I was thinking on maybe buying this pack, but I readed this:

Could anyone tell me what is this about?

I didn't found anyone more complaining about it.
Cool sales idea. Probably not much for me here since it looks to be classic games only and I own most of those already. If there are some I don't have it's probably because it's a game I'm not interested in. Good luck to any nighthawks staying up for this. May your coffee be good and your spoils aplenty!

Y´know, you´re good at this 4chan pics like, I got good laughs with Jack and this...

About the trailer promo: With the Enigmatic Produtions, I bet GOG is stepping on new grounds: DRM free movies! (that would be great > pic related: That would be great for real!)

cmdr_flashheart: So, is the sale going to last all through the night? Or will it take a break at the end of the work day?

HypersomniacLive: Who's work day would that be on an international site? If we're talking about GOG, their working day ended officially at about the time the sale started.
Gog's, obviously.
