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!

Malek86: 1995 iirc. But there's so much great stuff from 2000. For example, Sacrifice.

Melhelix: I'm hoping 2001 is Gothic 1. :D
Me too!

Purzycki4: Do I have to check out with every game or can I leave it in my cart without the discount vanishing?
avatar
donsanderson: Have to check out for each one or lose the discount.
Don't credit card/PayPal fees take a chunk out?
Dang, what was 1988? Wasteland?
avatar
Schnuff: I am quite sure i don't like this promo.
Waiting for hours in the hope that maybe one game pops up thats interesting?
After reading about the insomnia promo i thought, good that at that time i didn't have constant internet access.
Where do you live and what kind of internet do you have?

JetSetUBet: Is this the DOS version?
avatar
Morten79: No it's the Mac version :) Sorry yes it's the DOS version and the best SimCity game of all time IMO.
The best Sim City game of all time has not yet been released. It will support a variety of city concepts, including car-free cities and it will be DRM-free.

foxworks: The original was release in '89. Since 2000 is part of GOG's catalog, they're releasing this instead

OdanUrr: Still, don't they have any 1989 games in their catalogue?
They do but they cannot reduce the price how they like it. First they have to contact and get a permission from the publisher/developer/right owner. And there are not so many games from 1989 here. I believe only three: Personal Nightmare, Populous and Quest for Glory (I'm not counting Space Quest, Ultima and Zork titles because those bundles were already in this promo) Maybe they couldn't strike a proper deal for 1989 so they had to make this little trick to keep going ;)

Siegor: Anyone who quotes the Legacy of Cain series desserves a +1 !
Time Reaver: Legacy of Keane

Edit: I have nothing against Keane, just jumping on the bandflogging.

Davane: Yeah, but only if you can afford to kill the time being on the thread. I know that I wasn't able to do it for some reason - probably because I was with my girlfriend at the time, who for some reason didn't think the Insomnia Sale was all that important... but, I'm back to being single now, so I can afford to watch this sale while watching YouTube and spamming this thread...
avatar
IAmSinistar: See, and now you're without both the girlfriend AND the Insomnia sale bounty. Get your life priorities straight, bwah! ;)
I know - I should have ditched her BEFORE the Insomnia Sale, but GOG.com didn't give me any notice that time, either! :P
It wouldn't be a time machine sale if they didn't cheat on the release years.
