Urban planner's single-player offline paradise!

SimCity™ 4 Deluxe Edition, the fan-favorite iteration in the long line of legendary urban planning simulations with a myriad of design options and factors to tweak and track, creating the ultimate sense of life-like complexity, is available 75% off on GOG.com. That's only $4.99 for the next 72 hours! Includes the Rush Hour expansion pack.

It all started 30 years ago, in 1984. An up-and-coming brilliant game designer by the name of Will Wright created an incredibly believable virtual city that astound the gamers with its level of detail and the amount of little things that were constantly happening in it. The city, though, served only the purpose of an interesting background to an action-focused title, Raid on Bungeling Bay. It would surely feel like a waste to see such a sophisticated simulation only as a "bells-and-whistles" addition. Luckily, 5 years later, Will Wright gave the gaming world the first SimCity game. The one we offer you today, the fourth--and according to many gamers, the best--part of the series is the result of almost a quarter of century worth of a concept's evolution.

In SimCity™ 4 Deluxe Edition you don't just build your city, you breathe life into it. Create a megalopolis by weaving together a tapestry of cities ranging from a bedroom community to a high tech urban center or a vacation destination to a farming village. You can create a region of interconnected cities sharing and competing for resources that are linked by a fully integrated transportation network. Use "god-like" powers to create mountain ranges, carve valleys, and lay rivers to construct the most realistic metropolis imaginable. The new simulation engine offers immediate feedback so you can react to the needs of an expanding metropolis. Now individual buildings and their lots provide you with feedback. Use the My Sim features to personalize your Sim and immediately move him or her into any area and watch them experience life around town and get instant feedback on the city's progress. Each decision has a greater impact and gives you the ability to respond more effectively. The DRM-Free Deluxe Edition offered here, comes complete with the Rush Hour expansion, for an even more in-depth urban experience!

Every game in this great series offers the player hundreds of hours of fun and easily adjustable challenge to create a sense of immersion in a living, breathing metropolis. They all come with their very own special flavor, but most gamers agree that SimCity™ 4 Deluxe Edition is the most delicious dish of them all. Grab it now, on GOG.com, for only $4.99! Remember to hurry, because the 75% release discount offer lasts for 72 hours only, that is until Sunday, June 1, at 9:59AM GMT.

park_84: Nice release. And does anyone know what happened with the first and third SimCity? Is there some conspiracy against odd numbers?

Fever_Discordia: Sim City 1 was released as freeware as 'Micropolis'

Dunno about Sim City 3000 though - I was wondering that myself, technical issues getting it to run on all systems?

Damn good to see an EA release BTW!
Great, I didn't know that, but now I'm wondering about the chances of SimCity 1 being released here, it would be nice to have the complete series on GOG.

Grargar: As I said, details. Whether they are important or not, it's irrelevant. Oh, and there was quite a bit of complaining about the game's price. Take a look at the reviews. (And there were 2 GOGmixes about it, one by you).
Oh, yeah I know. But as I said its perception. This game at 19.99$ is expensive. But at 4.99$ its cheap. The same with RollerCoaster 3. At this moment I only see the 4.99$ price shield and am not interested in the other.

Oh, by the way how do I find my gog mixes so that I can add more overpriced games to it :)

I never particularly liked the Sim(s)City(ies) games nor do I plan buying any, but I have to say I consider it a great release full of promises :)

Whaat? Simcity 4 !? *_*
Well, at least EA hasn't forgotten about gog. Would still like to see SimCity3000 as well, but this in itself is great! Now there should be more hope for the other Sim games as well as the Theme Park sequels getting released here. Not to mention the many additional games from other genres that EA is holding back.
This was always a buggy game. Does anyone know if they at least included an auto-save option later? So many technical issues I just stopped playing this. Any comments about the GOG release, stability etc... or is it just the standard patched version of the game.
Hmm at that discount I might grab it even with one of those rerelease physical copies on my shelf.

Pity its not SimCity 3000 but I guess it would be good to have all of the 4 simcity games on here.
Awesome release! Though, I did a double-take when I saw Raid on Bungeling Bay mentioned in the newspost, for a moment I thought it was an extra or something.

I haven't created any GOGmix, so I can't say for certainty, but you could try visiting your own GOGmix by going to Rollercoaster Tycoon 3's page. It's right next to its reviews section.
Alrighty, it's safe and sound in my account now. Hey, 75% off a $20 price, can't go wrong.

5 bucks for such a brilliant game?!
It's a crime NOT to buy it! :)
Thanks GOG, it's a great additon to my library.
Excellent release, great to see such a great game here, and at such a fantastic price!
Picked it up as a gift key. I guess I'll found out after the initial furor whether I should redeem it for myself or not. I expect the key will be an attractive gift item later if not, once this goes back to retail price.
GOG.

I literally clapped out loud.

YOU MARVELOUS BASTARDS.

tfishell, you should continue saying that the next release will be Tycoon City: New York. That way, we will keep on getting some nice classics. :D
