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!

Buenro-games: 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.

undeadcow: 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.
I am not really into platformers at all, so I haven't tried it. The RPG part had interested me, but that is why I have a feeling it is a gimmick they are trying to sell you on. Although it is only a personal presumption and platformers are simply not my thing. I get frustrated when I have to continuously retry a level and it's the exact same replicated room, over and over. I lost my patience for that a while ago. : )

Buenro-games: 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...
Me too! I went on as soon as I got the email and it was already on M&M!

CrashNBrn: Well how the f' would I know. I only joined last year, and everytime I tried to get in on a sale Xmas, and New-Years I wound up with about 40-60+ tabs open with games I was trying to decide between. Then after a few days of reading reviews and whittling my list down to 15-25 games, attempt to purchase and the sales were all over.
So the 4 I picked up here during The Time-Warp are my first GOG-games.
Aren't we being touchy :-P

Lighten up, the information you're looking for was at the time you signed up and still is available and accessible on the site, it only takes a bit of time and reading - surely that's not too much to ask, especially from someone that's about to go into a transaction with GOG, is it now? :-P

On a brighter note - Unepic seems to be having an... epic sale, isn't it?

Buenro-games: I think some here will be surprised at how long Legend of Grimrock is going to last. If my deductions are correct, and most of us are first and foremost RPG type who have a good regard for dungeons and deals, Legend of Grimrock will last longer than UnEpic. So it might take a while to get to that Spellmonkey game than most people think.
I hope you're right because I just bought Unepic (which was on my wishlist) and am about to go to sleep so hopefully between Unepic and Grimrock (which I already have) I can get 6-7 hours of sleep and wake up to Spelunky being on sale.

*Edit: fixed top-posting horror.*

I can already tell that this will be rather Keanepic. ;)

Since every other game in that advertising pic released by 2011 has in fact been the game selected for that year, it's a done deal that the 2012 game will be Legend of Grimrock and the 2013 game will be Spelunky.

It's likely you have the wrong idea about Unepic. It's not repeatedly trying the same levels; sure you may respawn if you die but it's got a huge metroidvania style open world with meaningful character customization. Definitely something that emphasizes world exploration and strategic combat more than buttom mashing through replicated rooms.

My poor backlog keeps growing

Unepic? Uninterested.

The last two were Spelunky and what? I forget.

Baeus: And I somehow don't even see HoMM 5 come up. Bah!

implord66: Over here on the eastern time zone of the US it hit around 5am.
It was on at a decent time over here, I just didn't look in for two hours, and missed it. Oh well, maybe they'll put all of them up again for a bit.

Well I made it! ;-) I haven't thought Amnesia would stay for more than 3 hours :-)

Hell, I seem to be spending more time buying and downloading games than playing them..

Wasn't trying to be touchy. In this thread ppl were "donating" keys. I would of thought it logical to think all the games had keys. Games you buy don't have keys; games you buy to gift do... doesn't make much sense really. Almost every game I've ever bought after the "key-wheel--look-word-up-in-manual" fad past had a key of some sort, until secu-rom et al started to become more common.

Replace "f'" with heck, that was more the intent anyways ;-)

Ten games for me and six for giveaway gifting, and Spelunky, which I don't have yet, is still yet to come. Please, GOG! No moar sales! .... Just kidding.
