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!

Thexder: Time Reaver: Legacy of Keane

Edit: I have nothing against Keane, just jumping on the bandflogging.
I might have to buy that game sometime just to see how bad it really is.
I guess that with Sim City will happen the same as Magic ( not complaining because i just got City)
KeaneCity 2000: Never Sleeps Edition

fuzzknuckle: Please vote down the timer after you buy... 3 seconds each is too long!!

Thruggsen: *Before* you buy. You don't get the option anymore after.
I didn't realize that... I haven't bought anything from this sale yet. Thanks for the correction.
Feels like this is about to become as brutal as the Insomnia sale
The Time Machine is On Time! :)

Arkose: Be warned that this is the DOS version of SimCity 2000, not the Windows 95 version. It would be an instant buy for me at this price if it was the Windows 95 version but I'm not paying for an inferior product when I still have the retail version which has both the DOS and Windows 95 versions included (and even a Windows 3.x version for good measure).
Honestly, I never had a problem with the DOS version. The only thing that people seem to find wrong with it is the music, which I think is fine. The DOS version at least doesn't have the graphical issues that seem to exist in the Windows version, where the animations don't work half of the time. I don't know whether that's a problem inherent to that version or just an issue that comes with running it on a modern computer.

There also seems to be an odd thing with the speed on newer computers, as the "African Swallow" setting causes every year to be over in about a single second. It was so fast for me that the constantly appearing budget and newspaper windows made it impossible to even change the speed to anything else.

Also, apparently, you can't even install it on a 64 bit Windows. I suppose the installer is a 16 bit program. (I know that this is only an issue to people who own the retail version, since GOG makes their own installers, but still...)

All I'm saying is that I wouldn't call the DOS version "inferior" and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in SimCity 2000.

It's possible they'll come by again.

There was a mention of the RHPS "let's do the timewarp again" bit in reference to the sale, so...It's possible it'll cycle like the Insomnia sale did.

Ah, thanks! I, too, just saw the email. Thankfully I haven't missed any that I want and don't already have! :o)
Everyone adding time to SC2K, request the Mac version of the soundtrack to be added as bonus content!!
