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!

By the way, good job on blocking at least one "exploit", GOG. I tried to access the front page in a Private Browsing session to see if the up/down votes still appeared, and they did not. So that would appear to stop folks from mass-voting by using an anonymous session.

(psst, I did the same... ;p)
I, for one, bought AND downvoted. I got my game, now bring the next one please.

yyahoo: That's impossible. You can't have 30 years and 31 games per year.

It's exactly 31 years.

1984 2
1985 3

HypersomniacLive: Is it confirmed that GOG has a game for each of those release years?
No idea... I was just noting that it wasn't possible to have 31 games per year within a 30 year period.

We know there are exactly 30 games because it's stated in the promo text. Other than that, it's all clear as mud.

And they are talking about sale of 30 games, so there will be 1 free give-away, YAY!
(watching horror in sales manager of GOG.com, thinking hard if he can do some unplanned free give-away before all 30 planned ones are gone... yeah, I'm that evil :) )
In my heart of hearts, I know I'll probably never end up playing Zork, so I'll skip. Also, I don't think there's really anything else that I really want that will show up.

I'm still probably going to stay awake though >_<
Ohhh this reminds me of the insomnia sale. Except Jack Keane can't take a year and a half to run through.

tinyE: Time Machine Sale

Can it take me back in time to when I had some money? :P
Money? Where we're going, we don't need money.
Maybe they'll skip a year. I bet it's 2006. 2006 is kind of a jerk. Nobody likes him.
This looks similar too, but it has a timer instead in limited availability. And you can manipulate it.

Okay, here's a list of all items posted on GOG's list when you hit the pre-1995 release date button and their year of release as listed on individual product entries. Needless to say, some of the numbers are a little screwy, but it might still give a better rough idea of upcoming items along with a general timeframe.

Edit - Crap, typed pre-2005 when I meant pre-1995.

But will the free items last a nanosecond. Then we will know if it's the same.

Ok, we know it's one game per year and that there'll be 30 games. So if GOG doesn't carry a game for one release year, the mystery (30 games, 31 years) would be solved.

Just a thought.
