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!

Too bad I will miss it. But okay. My Game Backlog is still very big, so I can wait for the next opportunity ;)

ggf162: I've got ~140 games installed on my HDD, and that's just from GOG alone.

MartynD88: Just curious, how many of those have you finished?
Uh..... I think that answer is better left unsaid.

In that case, I think you should have gone to sleep already with your alarm clock set to an odd hour like 2-2:30am (your local time that is).

CrashNBrn: So what are some of the goggers thoughts on the negative reviews that UnEpic has received? Most seem related to a handful of (or one) off-colour situation(s). Though the positive reviews definitely outnumber the rest. I didn't see any positive reviews that addressed these complaints

?) Horrible controls (but it can't be worse than Gothic.)
--- Better with a controller?

The few things that I saw that might diminish the playability would be:
1) the inventory system is terrible - no autosorting, a lot of manual shuffling needed
--- could be a valid annoyance, as Inventory Maintenance can be tedious.
2) "the storage space (your bank) is terrible"
-- which is pretty vague.

Breja: Honestly, I have no clue what are those complaints even really about. I played the whole thing to the very end, and had no problems with any of those. I don't really remember the inventory, it didn't annoy. Nu then again, I have usually no problems with sorting through inventories manually unless it's somehow mad particularly annoying, which is not the case here. Had no problems with controls either, but than again I'm one of those weirdos who hate controllers, and always consider keybord and mouse the best option (except for a joystick in flight simulators).

My only complaint is that the end fight is absolutely insane. I never finished the game, because the final fight is not only tough as nails, but also rather long (and very peculiar, to say the least), and starting it over every time just too frustrating. And I will never finish it now, as I'm too out of practise with the game. Still, I had many hours of fun with it. For this price, it's a great buy.
Cool, thanks.

Alright then, not a bad sale for gog-newbs. Was able to pick up 6 games, and only missed HoMM5 and Tomb Raider 1+2+3. And still got half-way decent amount oh sleep :-)

YES I HAVE as a matter of fact, I've put at least 20 minutes into all of them. I try to play all of the games I buy lol.

EDIT: I mean to say, I've played at least all of the series. I hate playing series out of order.

Must admit that I hadn't heard of Unepic before, but after checking a Let's Play on youtube after it came up here, I had to have it! :-) That makes 8 games picked up again already lol, I just LOVE these sales!

I'm only a bit sad that I missed the KQ and SQ bundles (only got the email when they had already passed by :-/) and then later FlatOut and PoP when I was catching up on some sleep (darn this silly biological need! :-P ).

I was temped to pick Unepic. Downloaded the demo and did a satisfatory try. Among the complaints already described in GOG reviews (inventory and controls), which annoyed me more was the save system. You have no idea where you got a save spot, sometimes putting you to repeat an entire level. I would pick it though, but my backlog is already too huge and I can wait. The sale was good for bringing newcomers to GOG. Particularly I bought Space Quest (missed from recent promo) and Simcity 2k. The next titles don´t interest me, so this is the sale´s end.
