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.

Hey, don't worry about it! I'm probably going to give an offer to a bigger apartment tomorrow, yet I decided to buy this (even though I vowed to stop buying any more games for now due to the new apartment).

Man, months without GOG putting out a single game I'm interested in and then BAM. SimCity 4.

Alright, GOG. You win.

Interesting suggestion because in the 2 sim cities I've played I've tried building just a "few" houses, and it never works. XD Hey, I get bored. Seriously I have tried countless times to make itty bitty college towns and or something like Amity Island from "Jaws" and it never works. Now that I have this on here without the hassle of the cd I guess I can keep trying. Thank god I'm not using real money. :P

tfishell: Similar to Reddit, remember that GOG members are not one giant entity. We all have a variety of opinions, and some people just aren't interested in SC4! I don't view it as complaining so much as giving a different perspective, but I guess some people feel the need to downvote because they're different.

deonast: Hey I have no problems with people not being excited by the game, each to their own. I'm a little bemused however about the folks complaining about the price. Even for those dealing with Euros on steam, it is still cheaper on the current special than steam and that is assuming steam has a half price deal for Euros on this game currently.
(I swear I responded to this already. :P Mah post!)

Yeah, comparative research will help. Frankly I do think (whether on Steam, GOG, Amazon, etc.) $20 is too much to ask for a 10-year-old game, but any frustration needs to be directed at EA, not GOG.
Just want to throw in my thanks on a great release.

My $5 is already thrown in.
Instabuy for me. Thanks GOG, great game at a great price.
YES.
not going to buy it because I already have it on disk
but MY GOD,GOG.this is why I love you! I hope this shuts the people who say that "GOG doesn't release classics anymore" up.Also,stop whining about the price
Just bought it the moment I saw it this morning. Thanks GOG!
This game is definitely more worth it than the new SimCity.
Took its sweet time coming here... Excellent game!

Remarkable discount, though!
