Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

XEternalDreamX: I really want to see BG

Buenro-games: is that what the list says? freaking GOG, I am starting to get suspicious here and thinking GOG is purposely letting Jade and Thief be last since they have the most interest!

Argh.
Well, it hasn't always stuck to the order of the list. Sometimes it does, sometimes not. It usually does when you least want it to and doesn't when the game you want SHOULD be up next.

FreDDaN: Gonna be honest here I have never played a single Witcher game... And I don't know why.
I liked the original Witcher a lot but I am not a fan of the Witcher 2. It is too much like a console game for me.
Been a while since I seen anyone put a key up.

Revenile: While I would love to get ultima underworld, it isn't in me budget. Ah well, maybe someday.

Beelzebubb: I dont mean to judge but.... $1.49 isnt in your budget?
Probably only has a limited amount of funds and/or a set list of games they want to buy from this sale. Lots of people do that.
OK, screw this. It's past 3:30 a.m. here and I can barely tell my fingers from the keyboard, plus I'm seeing faces EVERYWHERE. I really need to sleep. I can't keep waiting for Brutal Legend or I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, I'M GOING TO BED.

Bye, everyone. Good luck with the games and those dangerously looking flying mini-rhinos that I assume are not only in my bedroom.

REZistance: Ultima is going to take a looooooong time.
It shouldn't take too long. U7 went quickly. I believe the underground series is popular too. I could be wrong ;)
I'll paypal you a $1 for Witcher 2! >:D

*if I can, that's all that's in the account XD*

Chevette: All this talk of Gabriel Knight is making me want to play it again. Thank goodness it's already installed!

sdanesh: Have you played Gray Matter? It's much easier than Gabriel Knight, but still features Jane Jensen's talent for tying a lot of real-world research to a fantasy plot. Probably the best adventure game I've played since the 90s.
Yes, it took me forever to find it for sale anywhere, then right after I paid 24.00 for it on some obscure site, it showed up on gamersgate for 3.00. Hahaha.

But I loved the game!

Ok, so what's the deal with the first Lands of Lore? I played through it a few months ago and damn was it brutal. I was getting one shotted by monsters in the first cave.

As for LoL2, I haven't really been able to get into since I'll find myself waiting >15m to shapechange so I can be small enough to fit into something. I've always wondered if you can control it later on in the game.

LoL3 is one of my favorite games.

But yeah, someone mentioned LoL, and I was not really that big of a fan. I'm currently playing Anvil of Dawn right now and am in love with this game. It's like LoL but not as crazy.

justanoldgamer: Do the Ultima Underworld games have auto mapping or are they old style, i.e. pen and paper by the keyboard.
Automap, at least the highest rated review says so.

Automapping, and done right, where you can actually type in notes. colorful maps also
Damn, GOG're out of their mind putting up 700 copies of Ultima Underworld like that. If they're gonna make good games like this take their time, what's gonna happen when Lucius et al. crash the party?
Honestly is there a bad Ultima game? maybe 9? due to rushed development. Kind of nuts that every game and spin off is awesome.

Rarehunter_idol: Witcher 2 was just a freebie? Damn! I step away for one minute :(
I wanted to replace my lame Australian censored version.
watch out some players are saying some games are censored depending on area of residence * germany being a major one but I dont live there just saw/read the other forums* but your status says UK so maybe different now?
