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!

It will be difficult to top that.

i wish they had a cap on how long a game could stay up....its one thing to have a timer......

DeRaMmed: So, anyone wants "DX?" (And maybe even past this sale, if I buy a dozen digital copies at a time, and meant not for myself but as gifts for others, the gods of GOG might be gracious and generous enough in such a case to offer it at the this time-travelling sale price -- after all, they did state that "time is not linear!" ;) Sign up somehow, if you do -- let me know.
Well, I was going to purchase Deus Ex while it was on sale but PayPal decided it wasn't going to be having any of that. I'd be quite pleased to receive a copy if you've got spares, as an old hard copy my family had was lost when my mother moved away.

I was too young to appreciate the game at the time but I'd love to give it a good go now.
Wow, Deus Ex must have been up for a while (got home from work and surprised we were only on 2001 with 45 min left). I think I'm gonna grab Gothic, despite still having to complete Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Arcanum, Icewind Dale 1 & 2, VTM: Bloodlines, The Witcher 1 & 2 (soon to add 3), Wasteland, Wizardry 6-8, TES 2 & 3 and New Vegas. And those are just the CRPG's for my backlog. Too many games...it's a good problem to have!

Triblaze: I would totally be on board with this if I weren't broke at the moment. Tis a good sale nonetheless.
Ha, same boat as you buddy, well at least I have the second one to keep me entertained.

DrYaboll: Lol, this sale is never gonna end XD

The time keeps on going up instead of going down.

Wanna place bets ? This is gonna last 6-7 hours.
avatar
DrYaboll: I was right! Now, what do I get?
A high five! Up Top o/

Why not go for a regular, old-fashioned, sale then?
avatar
justanoldgamer: Nope, it hasn't happened yet. I would not be surprised if it was the last game.

RWarehall: Not likely. Spelunky is in the promo E-mail and that is certainly a 2013 release, hence last game. It will have to be a $5.99 game and that makes sense since the sale is up to 90% off and $0.59 is 90% off of $5.99. Whatever the $.59 game is will fit both criteria.
I'm still thinking (hoping and fearing) it might be Arx Fatalis (2002). It's good enough to be part of the promo, it's $5.99, and there aren't that many other potential years left for the 90% off and $0.59 to apply. The sad thing would be if the reason for the huge discount was the possibility that it will be removed in the near future, just like the Fallout games (Arx Fatalis is published by Arkane Studios here, but they are owned by Bethesda, too).

Not many left, so probably not. If the Escapist is right, three of the remaining slots will be taken up by Witcher, Legend of Grimrock and Spelunky. Nine mystery slots, and one of them has to be a lower cost game for the whole .59 cent/90 percent off sale thing.

paypal was very slow for me as well so maybe you didn't wait long enough for it to go through

BoxOfSnoo: SimCity 2000 is Mac compatible, same with Wing Commander 1+2, maybe others. Yup, Crusader No Remorse, Star Control 1+2, Cannon Fodder... are you looking in the right place to see Mac compatibility?
In my original post I mentioned that there were no post-1996 Mac-compatible games on sale. This means that Mac users got nothing for the whole Wednesday (if I remember the times correctly).

From the ones you mentioned, I already have SimCity and Crusader. The others, are not so much my style. So, overall dissapointed.
