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!

Morten79: Can't wait for 2000. The Longest Journey or Sim City 2000. Please vote.
If its The Longest Journey then it will be an instant but for me, been waiting for a good sale on it for the longest time. :)
Space Quest :/ if it was 4+5+6 I would have grabbed it in a heartbeat

JudasIscariot: More like "Stay a while and listen..." :D
A Necromancer! I hoped I'd never have to lay my eyes on one of your kind again.

RWarehall: Sim City 2000's picture is in the E-mail ad, but I think that came out before 2000.
Stupid me yes SimCity 2000 was released 1995. I clearly remember it's a DOS game.

1995 iirc. But there's so much great stuff from 2000. For example, Sacrifice.
Already own the Police quest games. 1-3 are very very good. 4... um... Not as much XD
If the games in the email ads are definate - then I can't wait for Unepic. Although, knowing my luck, it will be on sale when I am asleep tonight, so I'll miss the thing! :(

mudd1: 1987 was the beginning of the 16-bit era according to Wikipedia. You wouldn't know this from game.
The "X-bit" eras were a console phenomenon. PCs had been 16-bit for years by then and 32-bit was already coming out. PC eras would be better defined by graphics standards.

Davane: You think that is bad? I get a feeling that we are going to be seeing Police Quest on here too. Now that was a "fail happy" game if ever there was one! Although I don't think it is trying to be evil, like with "I Wanna Be That Guy!" but it sure does like to end the game a lot if you don't do everything exactly right.

I think King's Quest is probably the best of the three "quest" series' (not including Quest for Glory) simply because it seems a little more lenient when it comes to player death. Sure, you can screw up and die, but for the most part, it is lost points rather than lost lives when you make mistakes (once you get past the whole "run off the screen like a big sissy because there's a monster here that will kill you!" thing).
Oh wow, you were right. Police Quest. Can't see this one last long either...
Not a whole lot of love for Police Quest I see.

gscotti: Please don't hate me for asking, but it's a long thread and I only checked the first and the last page: is there a list, maybe a partial list, of the games? A list of games that went already?

Stooner: Yep. ;p

Thank you.

Oh, I missed Zork Anthology!!!

I haz a sad....
what games have been on sale?
Gah, i knew i should've reversed the phase polarity on the internet interface grid and get to the alternative timeline, that's where KQ4 is on sale. ;\
Lmao! Police quest!? Maybe the game is pretty good, but it sounded like a fantasy police rpg when I first read the title ;)
Ok, so far it has all been multipack games. So no hope for Wasteland and Pirates! Gold, but still hope for Leisure Suit Larry.
