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.

serpantino: Discount aside What the hell gog? You've released newer games than this claiming they're good old games with the appropriate price point... now you release simcity 4 at a higher tier than $9.99?

(edit: I did buy it to support gog and to have a drm free version but I still think that normal price of $19.99 is cheeky.)

So if that's the case does gog no longer consider a 2003 game to be a good old game? In which case what is the new year for a good old game... or has gog now gone back on their pricing policy with good old games?
Any word on when we'll see SimCity 3000 Unlimited come along?
..and purchased.

I don't really get why people complain over nominal price. Who cares if you get launch-day discount -75% AND likely this game is going to go on promos quite often (as other EA's titles)?

Nevertheless it would be interesting to have time machine and see two scenarios of publishing SC4 on gog.com: $5.99 with -20% off and 19.99$ with -75% off.

Again, we can't control the price but we do consider a 2003 an old or a classic game :)

We do our best to keep the prices low for classics but we can only do so much before we're faced with a an either-or decision.

It's not my place to say so will someone else please remind someone that they aren't being forced to shop here and if they don't like the price they can probably go find it somewhere else and have fun screwing around with all that DRM, shit tech service, and pissy unhelpful forums.

You know, this is a great idea. Maybe if you complain enough about GOG breaking its word, then they will reconsider their decision and remove Sim City 4 from its catalog since they can't make it available at a regular price of $9.99 or less...

SMH...

That's what you say. :P
This is pretty awesome! I hope this also means that SImAnt and SimFarm aren't too far behind!!
Not my cup of tea, but I'm happy for those who wanted it here. I will say that I think this release pretty much kills the argument that pricing is keeping Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines from GOG.
Where did the driving sim come from and is there any way to turn it off? :P I'm not bitching it just tends to get annoying have that icon keep popping up on the car. One of these days when I'm bored of trying to recreate "Waterworld" I actually might want to try it.

Nice release. More games from EA please.
Wow, at last! :D <insta_buy> Just one sad question: where is polish language? :( Polish version was very good and fun. That would made the game more accessible for kids.
Is there a reason why the mac version is not included? Or will it be added later, like on steam?
