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!

Nice_Boat: I was thinking on maybe buying this pack, but I readed this:
http://www.gog.com/forum/might_and_magic_series/these_games_are_tampered_with_by_advertisers

Could anyone tell me what is this about?

I didn't found anyone more complaining about it.
Also, he has a rep 0. I have rep 3 and I just started posting here.

cmdr_flashheart: Gog's, obviously.
But that doesn't make sense now, since we're already ~ 3hrs past their working hours.
I'm considering buying it but I heard the gameplay is a lot like na FPS with strafing and just shooting, which seems odd for a medieval RPG. Would anyone be so kind as to elaborate on the gameplay please?
Thanks in advance.
Hey ! I just came back, what is this new madness !? Will we lose sleep *again* ?

Have them installed, saw nothing of the sort. Highly doubt GOG would put up with anything like that.
Oh boy, that M&M pack does not want to go down. :)
I won't be able to keep up with this...

Hey, in the almost completely unlikely event of Arx Fatalis showing up in this sale, could someone please grab me a copy?

Well people are buying the pack. So maybe they will post here about it. If they even notice. Most people are dense when it comes to reading EULAs.

JudasIscariot: >implying you didn't borrow that from 4chan's /v/

:P

assassin33: I have never been to 4chan and didn't it come for the Simpsons originally.
I am not sure, I know I saw it on 4chan most of the time and so I erroneously thought it came from there :)
Hey everyone !
Let's get started for this new sale !! :)

404 sleep not found
1987 could have also been Dungeon Master (as was mentioned earlier) or Manic Mansion. Sad. We need those games in the collection.

randomengine: I call BS on that Pirates release date. No way it was released on New Years Day in 1987.

Cavalary: Jan 1 may be added as a placeholder for "unknown day, but we know the year"
You got it :)

That's one of the pitfalls when dealing with really clasic games: you don't have the exact date and googling doesn't help at times due to some places having different dates :)

We aren't inflexible, however, so if someone knows the date 100%, we're always willing to change it :)

randomengine: It is pretty sad that 1987 was so long ago we cannot know the exact date of this game's release.
It's not just this game. No one knows when Super Mario Bros. was released in the US.

We're talking about the second-best selling game of all time - surpassed only by Wii Sports nearly 3 decades later - and it has an unknown release date.

PaterAlf: 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.
Seconded.
