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!

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.

Breja: 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!
Guess I don't like "Good Games" then.

CrashNBrn: 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.
The keys are not game keys but GOG keys.

You buy a gift game and instead of having it appear on your shelf the person whose email you put at the gift recipient (possibly you if you want to give it later or trade it) receives a key that they can redeem for the game. Once the key is redeemed the game goes on that person's shelf and the key is not valid anymore.

Well, I just picked up two games from the sale because, if the other two are LoG and Spelunky, I have the rest. I could always hope for an encore and get Rayman Forever.

I finally got my hands on Amnesia and Deus Ex (sorry for making it even longer:P) so I'm pretty content.

Was sad not to see System Shock 2, but putting it out there right next to Deus Ex would admittedly drive those who own it/arn't interested insane:D.

Thanks OFG.

Guess that's the end of my sale then and trolling this thread. It was fun and I really enjoyed some of the jokes and convo. Thanks everyone and see you next sale thread!!! :)

P.S. If you are an RPG addict like myself and are considering Grimrock, google GRIMROCK RACES first and make sure you're okay with it. It's one human race and three monster races. That's it (no elves, no dwarves, no orcs, etc).

Thanks again all. Be well.

XYCat: 2011's game is unepic, literally
I rather like Unepic, I have already poured hours into this little gem. I like the humour and the game play. Towards the end things get a little too weird in a dragging-on kind of way which I did not care for, but the about 90% of the time working towards it was a time I enjoyed playing the game.

What is wrong with the races? You are too picky and bedsides you don't even see your character at all since it's first person. Just imagine its an elf who was raised by humans or something.

The races are pretty creative in my opinion.

Really easy to extremely difficult (there are 4 difficulty options).

CrashNBrn: 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 ;-)
All's fine, no worries.

It seems to me that you don't fully understand the meaning of DRM-free and the nature of GOG's business.
FWIW, games sold on GOG come with no form of DRM or copy protection - that means no keys, no codes, no internet connection, no nth during installation, just a standalone installation file you download, execute to install and you're good to play.
When you buy a game on GOG for yourself, i.e. you don't mark it as a gift, then it's automatically associated and added to your game shelf.
But when you buy a game as a gift, the code is just the means used here to associate and add the game to the account of the person receiving the gifted game, it's not a code that you enter at some screen when you install a game.

I hope this helps. And seriously, do read the links I gave you, they'll clear up quite a number of things for you :-)
