Let's do the time warp again*!

Welcome to our [url=http://www.gog.com]DRM-Free Time Machine Sale! Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for a fascinating ride to the early days of PC gaming and back again, with 30 excellent titles selected from the years 1983-2013, available up to 90% off (that is for as little as $0.59!). 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). Are you ready?

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!

Could someone who has played Sands of Time give a quick review? It's there in my wish list, but is it worth the cost ? i know, it's dirt cheap, but I'd like to know what I'm getting into. I didn't much like the two thrones, which is the only PoP game I've ever played, unless you count the really old pixelated one.

edit: esp hated the camera. It was shit.

Sands of Time is literally, the only Prince of Persia game I've enjoyed from start to finish. Even moreso than the reboot. It has a great visual design and great soundtrack (which went, literally, to hell in the sequels), solid platforming sections and combat mechanics. At 2.49 I would recommend getting it.

Heck, I even rebought it just now, even though I have the original disc and steam versions.

Does anybody know if a Xbox 360 pad works with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time?

It does, but there's no analog input, so walking around needs time to get used to..

Hee hee crazy how much gamers love their games. (And I'm a fine one to talk after finishing Baldur's Gate 15-20 times since it came out). Prince isnt my cup o' tea but hey, at least it's not offensive like Serious Sam.

GamesMaster16: good one :) but after waiting 6 1/2 hrs for deus ex to go away nothing will surprise me now :)
The 6 1/2 hours Deus Ex thing was painful. I mean, it's a great game but I don't understand why there is such a mass hysteria about it now because it's neither a game with a mass appeal nor is it very accessible. I suspect it's something of an Emperor's Clothes kinda thing, an acquired taste and no one wants to be the uncultured brute who doesn't 'get it'.

I openly admit that Deus Ex didn't appeal to me much when it was first released, we were all playing Half-Life mods at the time and even though Deus Ex got excellent reviews, I knew only one person who actually played it and he was hogging his copy. I played Deus Ex on his PC for a bit but like I said, it didn't seem anywhere as immersive or fun as Half-Life so I didn't give it a fair try until years later.

I would've stick to my original discs to this day if they didn't have that abhorrent evil-of-all-evils DRM known as StarForce. And being it a DRM measure from 2003, it absolutely refuses to work on windows 7 and makes the game completely unplayable.

And on steam, you don't get the soundtrack as a bonus, so it was a great opportunity for me to get it for 2.49 just for the music.

What're the odds Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone is going to come up for 2004? I'm always tempted to buy it, but (given my college student video game budget) I can never seem to justify it's price against it's 3.5 stars on GoG.

JohnnyDollar: GOG apparently are doing pretty well with their special promos, because they're becoming more frequent, or at least it seems that way.

MiklCraw4d: Now they just need to add a lot of "new" old games so I can have something to buy... I pretty much have everything they offer pre-1995. Time to raid those vaults, GOG!
Yeah, the catalog has to expand before I can summon up much interest. I wouldn't mind some newer ones too.

There is one reason why you should buy it: Drizzt Do'Urden.

SS is not bad, sometimes its good to turn off the brain. Especially after work.
