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!

Domy85: Deus Ex GOTY is already in the “Top sellers” list. :-)
I wonder if it will reach the top of the top sellers list? :O
I hoped for Deus Ex! One of the few games I completed through and one of those that just make a lasting impression.
Hopefully some more cRPG are on the way...

Soccorro: OMG! Please stop clicking on additional seconds!!!
No one is, people are buying the game...
Deus Ex has already surpassed Wing Commander 1+2, working on Carmageddon Max Pack now.
This one looks like it will be the Ultimate "Keane"ing. I went away for half an hour came back and it went up by half an hour.

To be honest, GOG's top seller list seems like being based on either a very small interval of time, or some number of last purchases. During Insomnia sale, anything that was discounted and didn't reach top 5 seemed to be considered a Keane.
Hi, guys! I need help. I just bought Deus Ex with my debit card because I had been wanting this game for ages and now that it is on sale I jumped at the opportunity. However, at checkout an error occurred and the verification could not be processed, so I don't have the game but I checked my bank account and the money for the game was actually deducted from the account. So, I spent the money, but I don't have the game. Can anyone help? Thanks!

I bet it will!
Still no sign of the mythical $0.59 game.

I find it strange that it has already passed WC. I wonder what period the list covers, a week, a month?

IAmSinistar: The Insomnia sale also was far more crash-prone due to the way freebies worked. There were a ton of clicks any time a game changed, in case it was a freebie, and this sudden spike in traffic reliably crashed the servers shortly afterwards. There isn't a a similar dynamic at work here, the worse is likely just the initial flurry of votes. And even those are more spread out than the freebie clicks were.
I imagine that is why they wouldn't have even thought of putting a free game for this time machine promo. Because that would actually break the entire system with the main page frozen in time and the sale would essentially go on for eternity until all of us would turn into dust. :P
Removal of the +1 seconds button would be appreciated. Adding a second per buyer is fine.

This has put the 10-hour Pac Man theme into a whole new perspective... "I'm going to eat you, little Keanies!"

Breja: I just wish it didn't mean waiting so long for the next game.

stg83: Well waiting would imply the passing of time while right now it is actually the opposite of that, with the way the timer is going. :P
We're finally travelling back in time! Gentlemen, buckle up! \o/
