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!

RyuuZonvolt: I was hoping Unepic would have 90% off, but ah well...I don't have enough money to get it.
What a bummer! If only someone would gift it to you! ... One sec
Unepic has never interested me. I think it is a gimmick of a game. : (

But I am always glad that some people liked it and enjoyed it.
Well, crap. Now squarely into games I already own territory. Very, very odd feeling walking away from a sale without spending all the money allocated to it. Have run out of cash a couple times before a finale, but never the opposite.
And I somehow don't even see HoMM 5 come up. Bah!
Got to admit, the only game I was tempted to buy was Police quest, I regret not buying it. Though my biggest wishs would've been Space Quest 4-6 and Ultima 7 collection. Well, maybe next time
Wish unepic was a bit more cheaper I'm like a few cents away

Have you tried Unepic? Initially I thought it looked too gimmicky and self-aware; but having played it there's more depth than is initially obvious. I think the box art graphic and "slacker real life RPG" presentation do the gameplay a dis-service.
Does anybody have a gift key for Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time? It's the only game I wanted that I missed so far.
I can exchange it for an Unepic key if you're interested :)

Being fairly new to gog I got a lot of games :D
Ultima
Tomb Rider
Rayman
Serious Sam
Flatout
The Witcher
Unepic

Thank you for this sale, you guys at gog!
Hey GOG, if you put all games on sale briefly again in one swoop after the last game posts, I promise to buy the Police Quest and King Quest series. Besides it was your fault I missed them since I got your email like 12 hours after the sale had started.


Ok then...
So papa's got himself some Unepic. This wraps it up for me, unless there's some crazy surprise in the end, but I guess I'll find out tomorrow anyway. Good night, fellow Goglodytes, always a pleasure to hang out with you. And may the Keane be with you always.
Pretty decent sale. I regret missing Sam and Max (silly sleep), but at least I picked up Deus Ex and Gothic 1. Didn't spend nearly as much as on the Insomnia, but that was just because the Insomnia Sale had 101 titles and this one has 31. Still, I enjoyed it.

Edit: Or... I guess not! Thanks a thousand, secret Fox dude! :D

I missed out on the first 5 titles since I didn't get the e-mail until 6:30 last night.I would have bought Zork if I knew it was up first!

CrashNBrn: Grimrock is fun if you like puzzles. But combat is nothing short of a a click-fest chore. Casting spells is a complete pain in the ass requiring at least 3 clicks (more if the spell requires multiple symbols selected). Then you have to time your melee attacks, set up spells again and again (no way to save a favorite spell or two). No way to dodge, or block, aside from manually moving your whole party in a given direction away from the creepy-crawlies. The level-system is completely broken, and it looks like Grimrock 2 wont be much better, as the Dev is trying to create his own RPG system instead of basing it off of something that already exists and has been class-balance-tested.
Grimrock i fun if you like good games. It's even more fun if you like great games. It's only not fun if you expect it to be something that it is not supposed to be. It's kind of like if you were to complain that Heroeos of Might and Magic is slow, doesn't happen in real time, enemies wait for you to end your turn instead of rushing you, and you have to click "end turn" to make time move forward. It's crazy and unrealistic! And the level-system is not even based on D&D!
