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.

Blah. I was hoping it would be something that you couldn't buy any more these days.

It's nice that it has a good discount at launch though. Praise for that.

Marvelous release, stunning discount! :)
Hehehe, I was correct.
Oh baby yeah!!! Insta-bought!!

(I would've done it even without the spectacular discount, but don't tell the GOG guys. Shhhh...)
Finaly something to look forward to. Instabuy for me.
Another Simcity finally here, yay.
Wishlisted for now. :)

Hope Simcity 3000 will show up someday too.
was this the one that crashed c/o the massive required DRM on launch?
(not the GOG launch obviously)

where only the pirates were the ones able to play (and a handful of players who managed to actually connect to authenticate before it went down)

Absolutely not my cup of tea and $20 is pretty expensive. Let's see what you release next week! :P

Nope, that was last year's Sim City.

FAR OUT!

I have this on disc but it runs like shit; I think the disc itself may be warped or something.

This game is good and bad. I've found it doesn't have some of the little nuances of SC2K and the streets can be a pain but it can also be much more forgiving making it much better 'casual' game; not having to spend two hours worrying that my fucking power plant is one block too far left or right is always nice. :P
