I'm referring to the FALL sale, the previous one. Not this sale, which is the WINTER sale. :)

MadalinStroe: During the FALL sale "Rise of the Triad 2013" appeared only once, on the first day. However at the very end of the sale, for 30 minutes you could get any and all(???) of the games from the sale. Does anybody know if the "Rise of the Triad 2013" was also available during those 30 minutes?

I'm asking because I missed Anvil of Dawn, that appeared only on the first day of the winter sale, and I'm hoping there will be a second chance at the end of the sale.
There weren't any flash deals during the very end of the Fall sale. GOG had announced a period of 3 flash deals per 40 minutes during the 2 penultimate days of the flash sale and after these 2 days have ended, so did the flash deals. The 2 final days only contained the bundles. Checking on those two days (21 November and 22 November), I can find no info of the game's appearance.

Late good morning everyone. I see most of you survived the night ;-)

Yes. 30 minutes before the last 2 days, when only the bundles were available. Here are some posts from the fall sale tracker thread. I was online when it happened, I didn't imagine it, I promise. :)

This is the typical behaviour of the flash sales when they are ending. Every x minutes, new game(s) is/are introduced, but the time they get to be on the spotlight becomes less and less as the end of the sale draws near. It's the reverse of the beginning of the sale, where the first games introduced are available for less time than the standard of 5 hours. At any rate, the two lists I gave above for the two final flash days should be accurate.

superstande: Completed 7 out of 97 of gog games. Latest one is from today. So maybe things are... going well :)
my calculator claims it's about 13%. Wow, amazing.

PaterAlf: You should buy a new calculator. 7 out of 97 can never be 13% (should be something about 7.2% instead).
:) oh yeah well it was the win 8.1 basic calculator. though I might have done something wrong, it was about 3 a.m. and I could barely keep my eyes open... :p

Either I'm not understanding you, or you're not understanding me.

During those mentioned 30 minutes ALL 243 games were available at the same time. Not just those listed on the front page.
All right, 26 and a half hours to go, and I'm tired as all hell. So I'm going to bed.
Anyone who wants to track, go for it. If you don't, I don't blame you. It's been a very long, very dull sale.
Goodnight, everyone.

OK then. In that case, nobody really knows what might happen. For all I know, this could have been a glitch and with GOG being as glitch-happy as it is, I would expect everything and nothing at the same time.

Goodnight to you and I'll be still keeping the backup list up-to-date.

Unfortunately for me, that might just be the case. :(

Good night, CarrionCrow.

It wasn't any and all I don't believe but it was quite a few of them and since Rise of the Triad (2013) was strange in that it only appeared shortened at the start, I can't say for sure.

Hmm...
There were only 121 Flash sales in the fall one. I recall when that happened. Could swear I looked some games up and some of the flash sale games weren't on flash discount, but many of them were. It was like something glitched and a bunch of games went on flash sale again, but weren't displayed on the front page.

And the spreadsheet is up to date for predictions on the likely last Flash sales if any are interested...

When it happened, I managed to get Chaos Engine. And I also searched for other games from the sale which had already expired. I didn't verify ALL of them, but enough of them to lead me to the personal conclusion that all the titles were on sale. But I never checked Rise of the Triad 2013. Thanks for the info.

And also thank you for your invaluable spreadsheet. +1

It could be, I was pretty busy trying to jot down all the games at the end, I very well might have looked up a game which was never on flash sale.
