It seems people keep up-voting the Might and Magic 6 pack. When did this start? 8:30am CST? So if there was no voting this would be done around 5:30am on Thursday? Also checking the comments for the blog entry about the sale they said there'd be no Jack Keane for this  Edit: The drat thing's gained 4 minutes since I started this post, gently caress.

4chan or reddit noticed the sale and decided to become dicks.

Letting users modify timed deals is annoying. Just have a fixed schedule.

Every time someone buys a game three seconds are added to the clock. The M&M series is just rather popular, that's all. So quityerbitchin.

It started at an hour and thirty 45 minutes ago. It was downvoted to an hour. Now it's over an hour thirty. They're not THAT popular.

I don't think 1000+ sales is that unlikely with it being evening in Europe.

Also Might and Magic X just came out last week so that might generate some buzz.

I was concerned that the Time Machine sale would be dragged out but it looks like a good hour has been shaved off of Space Quest's sale over the course of ten minutes.

It really depends on the game I think. Might and Magic is popular, King's Quest wasn't. Space Quest didn't start getting really good til the later games either.

Yeah, people seem not to care about Space Quest. Considering the first 6 Might and Magics were cheaper, I'm not that surprised. Speaking of which, what's the consensus on whether or not to play 3 before 4+5?

I remembered what this reminds me off, those drat penny bid auction sites where every bid resets the timer to 5 minutes or whatever. Hmm, I did like Sim City 2000 back in the day.

They're really stretching saying SimCity 2000 is from 1989. The original SimCity was, but 2000 came out '94.

Halibut Barn posted:They're going through the "30 years of gaming history" they mentioned year-by-year, so the next game up should be from 1990. Or possibly the first game from the series was from 1990 but the game for sale is from later. SimCity 2000 will probably be up for a while.

When did Heretic or Hexen come out? I need them. Also Dragon's Lair. And 2002 better be Medal of Honor Allied Assault!

I would have liked to pick them up as well but unfortunately ID Software holds the rights to Heretic/Hexen and hasn't put any of their catalog on GOG, only Steam.

If this is how things are going, is there a chance Shadowrun Returns might end up in this sale? That and Blackguards are the only things in my wishlist right now, and I don't expect Blackguards to be on sale, like, ever.

The next campaign is set to be released in a month and they probably want to get the word out.

Somebody must be asleep behind the wheel of the time machine, because SimCity 2000 wasn't made in 1989. ...or WAS it?

It was the Might and Magic VI Pack, which contains the first 6 games, the first of which was made in 1986. This sale is just Simcity 2000 so it doesn't really fit.

The slight quality of life improvements in Xeen will make going backwards more annoying than it needs to be. 3 is short but great fun.
