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!

Ponxha: Yeah the price is attractive on paper even if it's inferior to the 2nd... But my bank adds a fee when converting $ to € so it makes me think a lot before buying anything ^^ I'll wait for other sales I guess

00dwan: Wait... did you mean € to $? Because I've been paying in $... I think? Also what about Paypal?
paypal charges 3% for foreign money exchanges, thats 3% of the price

Anyone have an extra code from FTL: Faster than Light or Smugglers V? You will earn a BIG IOU from me. I will return the favor. Thanks

The USicans pay in US dollars at the posted price with no foreign transaction fee that I'm aware of. Er, assuming it's a card issued by a US bank and all that stuff.

Any predictions for 2010-2013 (2014 too?) games?

IAmSinistar: I have candy for you, child.
Is it still legal to use the word "candy" for games? I thought it was trademarked away.

I think it's great how generous some of the members of gog are in gifting people games when they can't afford them or missed a sale but is anyone else uncomfortable with how this seems to have increased the numbers of people begging for games? I find the worst posts the ones that are oh so subtly begging, e.g. saying "gosh darn I just missed this sale, now i don't have this game oh what a shame never mind hi ho I'll just go and tell the orphans they can't play The Witcher 1 now"...

MisterLovejoy: Right on bueno, but people should also have manners. It keeps civilization, well, civilized. Saying thank you doesnt hurt anyone and when someone does something for you, IMHO it's required (regardless of the motivating forces involved).

...and yes, i agree with the name and shame suggested earlier in this particular case and did not miss the point of this sitch.

Buenro-games: Agreed.

deneric: It's not so much an issue of not being thanked as it is that the gifter was very clear in his desire for the game to go to Goldragon, but it was still ninja'd from him before he could enter the code.
avatar
Buenro-games: But if that was the case, I think the ninja should be thanked for teaching the gifter a valuable lesson about using a public open forum to offer a key to a specific individual instead of sending it in a PM message. No??...
You're suggesting we thank someone for being disrespectful because it has a silver lining? There are many better ways to teach that lesson than sniping a present.

I hope you're kidding, but I'm afraid you're serious.

awalterj: Why is Torchlight going down so fast, is it so mediocre as a game?

I'm debating a purchase but have to leave in a minute....argh life and its crucial decisions

CrashNBrn: Most already have it. And like others have said TL2 is the better game.

I only bought it as I don't have it, might get a few hours or so out of it, and decide if I want to pick up TL2 at some point.

Plus I like what GOG has done for gaming. One could say the same about Steam - but since Steam allows 3rd-party DRM on-top of Steams authentication -- it really hasn't done anything for gaming beyond bringing prices down for digitial distribution. And the whole Steam-Box thing might of been interesting, except it was done in response to MS having a store in Windows 8 --- which is a lame-ass reason all-told.
A few hours, play it on the harder setting and you will get many hours of gameplay. The game starts easy and becomes quite the challenge near the end=). The game is not good at telling you this but you have more than one place to store all the loot you find.

I think that's for that individual to decide and that would certainly be the higher road and a great perspective. But it still doesn't make what the snatcher did a good thing, which is what I think the topic at hand is. :)
