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!

Time Machine Sale

Can it take me back in time to when I had some money? :P
I wonder how many years will pass as I sleep this morning. When I wake I'll truly feel like a man out of time.
Usually someone manages to dig up a list of what games are going to be in the Sale, has anyone posted one yet?
Zork is going just faster than the initial timer (about 2 minutes faster than default count); does that mean sales are negligible and insufficient to stall the timer versus floods of downvotes?
Whoa, Insomnia-like sale! Have to refill my Visa! :>

The list that floated around for the Insomnia sale was generated from the (very fast) first round of that sale, so we knew which games would come back for the later rounds. This just started so the known list is only one game long so far.
Nice! That reminds me on our bus signs in my city. They have displays showing the time until the next busses arrive. And sometimes it says 3 min and after 3 minutes, it says 2 min... ! Time is so relative :-)
Awesome!

yyahoo: That's impossible. You can't have 30 years and 31 games per year.

It's exactly 31 years.

mabrookes: The range of years 1983-2013 includes years from the beggining of 1983 through to the end of 2012 but not 2013 - if it included 2013 it would be 1983-2014 (because it goes to the end of 2013 to include it).

It is a problem with how they have worded it and how the numbers work as years, not just numbers.
Well, if it doesn't include 2013, then it's 30 years, but then where does this idea of 31 games come from?
If only I didn't have classes today. I hope someone keeps a list of all the games and their discounts.
Hmm... :)

They had a list for the Christmas sale too, but maybe that was compiled by multiple people since they had the gift box thing :/

I am sure they come up for a second or third time. Maybe the values in seconds for the buttons and buys will change.

It's natural to have the number of people uninterested in a game greatly exceed the number purchasing it. For particularly popular titles it may drag on a while longer, but doubt it'll add more than some 10 minutes even then. Don't expect it to last over 48 hours, though there's no way to know yet.
I love time machines!

Its where I learned about the UN stopping the evil Charlie Chaplin.
