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!

GabiMoro: Can anyone with an overall good PC tell me something about Heroes 5?

If you open the hero inventory or the town screen it's done instantly (like in Heroes 2 or 3) or do you have a delay? (almost a second or worst). I can't stand that.

I have an I5 2500K and Radeon 6950.
Hm, not really. There is something but it is hardly noticeable unless I was looking for it. Half second max. And I have very similar specs to you. (Radeon 6850 + AMD Phenom II 955)

But maybe it is just that I have bigger tolerance level than you and it just seems longer to you. I find it better than in Heroes II which I am just playing. :-)

I wonder if there is any chance that Divinity: Dragon Commander would be the game on sale for 2013. I would jump on that at 80% off even if I can't pay it on m computer yet. ; )

Risingson: I cannot understand you people. Sam&Max season 1 was the first great modern adventure after some depressing years of Syberias and stuff, one adventure that made me even angry thinking "is it that difficult to be this good?". Greatly written, with great puzzles, with great characters.
True. Whatever you think about the game it did revive a genre that had been basically dead for some years.

PirateNeilsouth: Awesome another game i'm not interested in via this awful sale

JustSayin: You do realize what kind of games are here, right?
Yep, the very best old games, but only what's left over from the 2000s after the decade was crushed and corporatised by Blizzard, Bioware and Bethesda.

WTB two games from each of the first 15 years of the sale instead ;)

Sanjuro: They might mean a Witcher game, so there still may be a surprise. ;-)

CarrionCrow: At this point, they're kinda screwed either way from the accuracy angle, unless GOG plans on doing Legend of Grimrock or Witcher 2 as years completely different than what's listed on their product descriptions. They're both listed as 2012 releases.
Pretty sure the original version of The Witcher 2 came out in May 2011 (I know because I upgraded my CPU for it, lol). The product description must be for the Enahnced Edition.

I was hoping for DDC too, but I'm afraid the 2013 game will be Spelunky. :(

Well, the product descriptions aren't always accurate.
The Witcher 2 was released in 2011 for PC,

Edit: ninja'd, dammit. :-)

The Witcher 2 came out in May 2011. I think the release date on the gamecard is for the Enhanced Edition.

Ok, 90% is impressive but why does a 6 year old game still cost $30 in the first place?
Posted January 30, 2014
OMG. We are on 2007 already? Can anybody tell me what I missed, and although I doubt it much, has a title overtaken the current reigning Keane - Deus Ex?

GabiMoro: #1. Heroes 3
#2. Heroes 2 (very close to Heroes 3 and one of the best games ever made).
#3. Heroes 5 (not bad but I had an annoying lag when I open Hero inventory or Town screen, I also had a crappy pc)
I only tried Heroes 5 for 10 minutes, then the hero attack animation cam annoyed me too much. Can these be turned off now?

I think that all of the Telltale Games are priced in Zloty but GOG has never fixed that mistake and still puts it as if its in dollars.

They might surprise us again, the original Spelunky was released in 2008.
They seem to be taking liberties with release dates. ;-)

Thanks. I see that I haven't missed anything important then. I still own every game in this sale so far!
