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!

is it normal that the +- buttons reappear every time I reload the browser window?

Blooglspash: What kind of Time Machine Sale doesn't let you buy a time machine?
Q: If I buy a time machine from someone, can I then use that time machine to go back in time and stop the person from inventing a time machine? Would I then have the only time machine or no time machine, effectively getting stuck in time?

Someone would go back in time and stop you from stopping the time machine from being invented.

You'd probably have a paradox on your hands :)
Since the time has stayed in the same general range for over an hour now that means the game has sold around 1200 copies in that time as 60 * 60 / 3 = 1200.

If Theme Hospital is the game for 1997 people might as well goto bed considering how fast it sold out during the insomnia sale.

Well naturally, I mean web development is synonymous to magic

stg83: Indeed, it is the closest thing to magic we have in our world. :)
I cast invisibility on Might & Magic 6!

If you've already clicked on one then no, it's not normal.

Like the one we currently have with this Might and Magic 6-Pack. :P

dexter49: Okay seriously... I think this thing has been on sale for longer than 90 minutes now. I think GoG is trolling us at this point. MOVE ON!!!
Read the announcement about how the sale works before complaining...

Depending on which theory of temporal physics is correct, you might be prevented from causing the paradox, for example by the time machine not being made available to you in the first place. Otherwise, if you did pull of the travel trick, you might find yourself trapped in a Schroedingerian off-shoot universe, where the branchpoint allows both events to occur but excludes you within each.
low rated
Ok, I checked back in after spending an hour doing some work, and I see that literally zero time has passed on M&M. I think it might actually have more time remaining, I didn't write it down.

This is a poorly thought out sale.

At no time should time go backwards. Fine, some sales could halt the clock, but this +3 second stuff is madness. At worst, 90 minutes should take 90 minutes.

Folks are going to get bored, and not come back. I'm reaching that point myself. I'll check back in an hour, see M&M still, then just forget about this stupid sale.

That's premise for a Cheapass Game called Patent #1. The idea is simple - you have a time machine, and you must race to when the US Patent Office opens in order to get the first patent - Patent #1.

By the way, this is how you can tell time travel will never be invented - it would be the first patent ever patented. As stated on wikipedia (I love wikipedia) "The first patent was granted on July 31, 1790 to Samuel Hopkins for a method of producing potash (potassium carbonate)." So, no time machine... :(

Quickly! Press F5 and "-1" repeatedly... :-)
