Let's do the time warp again*!

Welcome to our [url=http://www.gog.com]DRM-Free Time Machine Sale!

You'll find amazing games in amazing prices featured one by one on GOG.com main page, and before the sale is done you'll be able to complete your very own display of gaming history on a budget below $65 (because this would be the cost to get every single game in the sale).

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 to get a long scarf and some jelly babies!
Good luck to all the bargain hunters!

For some reason, the option to add or subtract a second isn't available for me. Does anyone else have this problem?

Edit: Nevermind, it showed up now.

yyahoo: Well, if it doesn't include 2013, then it's 30 years, but then where does this idea of 31 games come from?
I was just trying to say where confusion might come from on both sides, the wording would technically be 30 years but including the years as numbers from 1983-2013 is 31 -that is what I meant by 30 years but 31 games.

I don't know how many games there will be (I personally think they might have made a mistake and it is 31), I was just trying to explain where confusion on our/their end might come from with this.

You are aware that The Doctor stopped wearing a long scarf in 1981
Bit of a glitch this end. Dunno if anyone else is having it but I can't see the price for Zork Anthology, or a purchase button.... might wanna fix that.
Just received the promotional e-mail, and if the titles shown there are actually part of this, we'll get SimCity 2000 for 1995, Rayman Forever for 1999, Unepic for 2011, Legend of Grimrock for 2012, and Spelunky for 2013.

Thruggsen: 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.

wanderer_27: 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've started a list now.

Best thing to do in this case is try a refresh with Ctrl+Shift+R or check your browser and whether it's up to date. After that, if the problem persists, please send an email to our Support department :)
Oh cruel fate! What demon from the depths of perdition created thee?

I lost my debit card card last week but deciced to wait on ordering a new one until after the weekend sale, as I have the card number memorized. I just called and had the old one cancelled last night and the new one wont arrive until this weekend. I have no way of participating in this Time Machine sale. Well I suppose I could scan a $20 bill and send it to GOG support, but I doubt it would help.

If you have your bank account connected with paypal you can pay instantly with it still.

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

It's exactly 31 years.

1983 1
1984 2
1985 3
snip
2010 28
2011 29
2012 30
2013 31
Is it confirmed that GOG has a game for each of those release years?
My guess is that they have 30 games one for each year

Edit I didn't read the block of text

Looks like I'll need to update my PayPal password again as each sale causes me to commit it to memory. And that's bad for my pocketbook XD

Ah, well, the exact number of games has already officially been stated.
