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

If I had the outlet plugs I'de gladly hook up the Sega along with its "Life Support" goodness.

Thruggsen: Please tell me this is a joke. Until they release the new "X" there are 8 M&Ms better than 9.

jackster79: There is a X in the works? By the same people? What is the current status? I need details!
Might and Magic X - Legacy is currently under development by Ubisoft and is available in Alpha right now on Uplay and Steam Early Access.

PandaLiang: That's another 9 that many fans hope it never exists lol......
avatar
xenxander: Indeed. 9 isn't a lucky number in these cases.
Luckily the last of the trio stopped at 8 ;)

Kaitu: No sign of a repeat of Shelter yet.

Does the version on Groupees have DRM?

I believe it is an open project backed by UbiSoft who own the old IP. It may end up using Steam DRM (it's being advertised on Steam). It's in early Beta so I haven't tried it yet.

MGShogun: Well, I'm only getting it for MM6 so I think I should be okay.

yyahoo: I always thought 4 & 5 were better than 6. Also, I don't recall 3 being PC speaker at all. It's essentially the same engine as 4 & 5.
Absolutely right - I totally forgot. There was a big gap in between 2 and 3 because they revamped the engine in 3. I do remember one cool bit about 4 and 5, if you installed them together they would become the World of Xeen (or some such). I don't recall exactly how it worked, but changing games was as easy as 'Insert Light Side Disc'. Or something like that. It's been a decade or two.

Steam and DRM-free (direct download)

Chevette: GAH! That was Ultima 9, not MM 9.... I wish to banish that question from my brain.
avatar
xenxander: You missed the joke. It's 'another 9' that was horrible.
Sorry, my brain was too horrified by The Question to think clearly! ;)

xenxander: Indeed. 9 isn't a lucky number in these cases.

I'd play Jack Keane 2 before ever launching Might and Magic 9 again.

I never played any of the Ultimas, including 9, so the first time I was exposed to that question was via Spoony's review. Man, that was one epic review, and I will never forget it. It will forever be ingrained in my conscious whenever I think of Ultima now. :-D

That is about the biggest recommendation to stay the hell away from a game you can make around here now a days.

RayRay13000: So...what are you all doing while waiting for that specific game come up? I'm just watching LPs.

CarrionCrow: Netflix, Funimation, podcasts, .pdfs, anything to keep from falling asleep. lol.
Studying for the CPA Exam and posting here. :-)
The only thing I can remember about mm6 is "THATS THE TICKET! THATS THE TICKET! THATS THE TICKET!"

Ultima 9 was the downfall of the series.
