Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

Daz12380: interesting fact the old crt tvs for 1960s roughly would create xrays and thats why kids now days are told not to be too close to the screen as it could damage there eyes

VanZanz: Mmmm Chemistry... I loved how those simple powders and liquids made really cool things (and Loud Noises!), in real life even! ;)

golea: I guess most of the fun has been taken care off by healt and safety.
This is a fairly interesting post on the subject by a guy who won't work with FOOF.
Fascinating site.

xenxander: I can't even play Sacred Gold.

Bought it off of here, and my Nvidia 550 TI won't run it. :(

I have a worthless piece of code.
avatar
Infin8ty: I doubt it's the GPU, more likely it's the OS. I don't think it works well on anything above Vista. Can you make a VM? I use that for SC2K (not the DOS version, the good Windows version).
Not true.

i have windows 7. My friend has windows 7.

He has an ATI video card. I have nvidia. He can run it JUST FINE, and I can't. It's the video card. Nvidia 550 is shit and I wish I knew that a year ago, I never would have bought it. ZERO fucking support.

robbknoll: Had a retro night a while back with friends where we got out the snes, gamecube, playstation etc. Going through the games there was still price tags on the gamecube games, man, they were some expensive games haha. Over €70 for Soul Calibur 2!

Daz12380: i rember getting my first handheld gameboy with pokemon sliver cost £200
Hows about Donkey Kong Country for the snes at £50 pounds! and that was second hand ha! I cant remember what my folks even paid for the original gameboy, but id wager they wanted to sell one of us after getting it.

They already declared bankruptcy once. Their online system isn't as good as Netflix either. We actually switched a while ago. Also a bunch closed down including the one in my city. For some reason Family Video is still around though....

What OS are you running?

You need to run that game in Compatibility Mode for an OS it actually worked on; and turn off any of that Aero crap (check boxes to Desktop Comp & Visual Themes); and run as Admin.

In general - that stuff I listed is really important for any older games that were released from Win XP and before; especially if you're running one of them old games on a modern-OS like Win Vista + Win 7.
