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.
I always loved the idea of city builders, but always get bored too soon. I'll stick with the Roller Coaster Tycoon series.. (this is a great price however..)

garciafigueres: Yes, sure. A nice game, and DRM-free, and all in all... But it's too expensive. It's avalaible on Steam for 5 €.
It's actually €9.99 and currently there is a 50% discount. As for the $19.99 price here, feel free to blame EA for wanting the American price, which is also $19.99 on Steam.
Well done GOG, you added the best Simcity (if u include BATs). Well done.
Question for the GoG team:

This game is notoriously unstable on multi-core machines - have you guys done anything to mitigate that?

JMich: €9.99 or $19.99, depending on region. Currently at half price on steam, thus the €4.99, meaning a bit more expensive than getting it from GOG atm.
My mistake. You're right. In Steam it's now 50%. Sorry. I'm editing my previous post...

Smannesman: Hmm, my least favorite of the SimCities.. but for that price...

Matruchus: Its 4.99$ at the moment :) People please read the release thread :)
People please read the post!

blotunga: Hmmm, on steam the base price is only 10 (and 20 USD for US) euros, it seems this is one of the rare cases where steam is cheaper...
Indeed, and all GOG fans who miss the nice release discount will not be happy about this...
high rated
WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! EVERYONE STOP....put your money away!

I just checked the fine print and found out this version does not come with the "Miniature Donkey Farm" addon. Sorry, GOG but if I can't build a city whose sole source of revenue is miniature donkey farming then I'm afraid I'm just not interested!
I'll give this a go. Always had a soft spot for SimCity for the SNES though I royally suck at it.
I was hoping for sth older, but …it is a nice release with great discount. Will pick it during weekend adding my brick to show EA their oldies sell well here hoping to see to see more EAs on gog.com in the future.

Well its the same with several games on gog that are priced higher here then on Steam or other digital platforms for example: Battle World Kronos which is certainly a very good game but its price is 10$ more here then on any other plaform. And im not complaining its just how it is.

I hope we will see soon SimCity 3000 Unlimited, Streets of SimCity and true classic game of my childhood SimCity. Sim Farm would be nice too.
