GOG DRM-Free Time Machine Sale (Video Games, Not Time Machines)

130

From the announcement:

Welcome to our 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 some kind of voting system to keep the games on sale, too:

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.

Happy gaming!

    Ultra gaming nerd comment:
    The current deal is SimCity 2000 for $1.49 - it's a classic game, BUT they're saying it's for the year 1989. This seems to be a mistake - the original SimCity was released in 1989 and SimCity 2000 was released in 1994. I still have the SC2K box, which hints at my age…

    /Nerd rant over

    • If you go to its page (http://www.gog.com/game/simcity_2000_special_edition) they have it listed as Feb 1995 (I think that's for the special edition). Strange that they're not just looking up the year from the game's details…

    • I still have the SC2K box, which hints at my age…

      So do I (Special Edition 0_0), and I was born on the year the first SimCity came out. It just hints at our self-imposed exile from normal society, lol.

  • My Goodness - SimCity 2000! I remember when that game came with my old Windows 98 computer! I am actually really tempted.. Surely its worth it for its classic music!

      I remember getting it for Christmas when it was quite new - it was $49. Still have the original box, 3.5in floppy disks, and I even bought a thick strategy guide for it - still have that too.

    • Pity it's not based on the Windows 95 edition - bought GOG's DOS-based version a little while back and it feels clunkier.

  • Aren't all time machines DRM-free anyway?

      Being a McFly I'm guessing you'd be the expert on such things…

  • So are there any time machines on sale anywhere else at the moment? Or should I wait until the Boxing day sales? If only I had a time machine…

      You should definitely wait until the 2013 Boxing Day sales.
      Call me if you need a lift.

    I hate these kind of sales. They are a pest.

  • Can we fast forward please? I want the most recent games available.

    • C'mon 1994 & 1997: Little big adventure?

      • 1994: Jagged alliance. OUCH. That game has been oversold to death a dozen times before.
