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!

fuzzknuckle: Please vote down the timer after you buy... 3 seconds each is too long!!
*Before* you buy. You don't get the option anymore after.
Sheesh, I didn't expect to come back 10 minutes later and see more time on it than when I left.

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...

BlueKronos: Yes for some reason my bosses think I should be working rather than doing 'online shopping' no matter how fun it might be to hang out all day, but I'll take my chances checking in every once in a while!
Self-employment FTW! I always claim that it is "research" - an excuse I also use when playing games too! :D
gog would never put Keane anywhere near a sale with "time machine" in the name.

gibbeynator: It wouldn't be a time machine sale if they didn't cheat on the release years.
I think their time machine is just a prototype.

A small correction. Vote down the timer before you buy. I believe, after you purchase that game, you are unable to vote for it any longer.

That's why you need a time machine.

Morten79: No it's the Mac version :) Sorry yes it's the DOS version and the best SimCity game of all time IMO.

mudd1: 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.
Someone really does have a time machine! It must be a fantastic future where EA abandons DRM... Right now, they are struggling to bring out "Offline Mode" for SimCity, only some 10 months after the game was released. Can't wait for that! Any chance of a prediction for The Sims franchise? Please tell me that they have abandoned DLC for it in the future...

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect. But actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey... stuff.

Have you not seen the reviews? I'm telling everyone I know to buy some Keane!
Looks like I won't see more than two games on sale in this narrow time window of roughly four hours free time I have per day. The other 20 hours I spend sleeping and working and won't be able to buy anything.

Sure it's a nice concept and will gain a lot of attention, but all I can think of right now is missed opportunities to grab a bargain. Leaves a bitter taste, just like this Insomniac Sale a few months ago. But hey, that's life. What can you do.

Wait a while - I am pretty sure that Keane's Quest 1+2 will be on sale during the promo...
