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!

IAmSinistar: One positive aspect of the current offering - the song in my head has changed from "Fly Like An Eagle" to "The Neverending Story".

Magnitus: I like a lot of the soundtrack for that movie, moreso than the movie itself at this point.
Likewise here.
The "time left" curve might look interesting though. For popular games such as this one I'd expect a plateau and then an increasingly fast drop-off when saturation is reached. So I guess it will be uncomfortably difficult to predict how much time's actually left.

Someone should plot these things anyway.

ng: "In the previous sale we made you love some bad games (okay, not so good ones) (that would be Jack Kean 2). Today we'll make you hate some good games for a change."

mrking58: Jack Keane 2 was the best game ever. Just look at the reviews
R-r-r-r-ight. Now I love it, too! May I use the words fad or phenomenon with it?

Could someone tell me what exactly is happening here? I dont see any time stamp anywhere on the front page, and it's stuck at Might and Magic. Is that normal?

Through basic reading comprehension, I now realize why this is on sale so long.

I actually thought people were trolling and increasing the time for no good reason. :P
I see the picture of these games in the email that GOG sent .

sirchaox1224: What do you guys think 1987 will be?
Either Leisure Suit Larry or Pirates! Gold.

That might not mean anything, though. Or at least I hope. It would have been awesome to get something like Memoria for 2013.
where's the time left/vote option shown?

sirchaox1224: This is getting ridiculous, I might have to do some actual magic today
There, fixed that for you. :P
Valve hires and economist and tries to produce the perfect tradeable commodity.

GOG should hire a psychologist and an economist and try to produce the perfect impossible-to-predict-yet-human-behavior-based marketing scenario.

For M&M it should be normal.
Just don't forget to minus 1every time this option is available to you, and we'll make it to the end of this sale someday... :-)
