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.
You really need to get Aspyr on board in order to get Mac versions such as this one
Very nice release! Hopefully, EA will get around to release the uneven numbered Sim Cities (not to mention the various Sim-Spinoffs) here as well.

The only way this could get any better would be if Among the sleep was released some time later today...

Impaler26: Absolutely not my cup of tea and $20 is pretty expensive.

piepvogel: lol, what?
"[...]is available 75% off on GOG.com. That's only $4.99 for the next 72 hours[...]"
It still says $19,99 on the main page, it would be cool if that could be fixed, as it would put a lot of potential buyers off. Not everyone reads the release threads.

SimCity is a game that I think I play wrong. Everyone I know with tastes similar to mine love it, I've tried 1,2,3,4 and always found them boring. Same for all city sims I have tried like Caesar 3. Still, I'm kind of tempted to try again but I'll wait to see what 's on sale this weekend.

This.
Oh, this is fantastic! I have it on disc already, but I've been kicking around the idea of buying a digital version for convenience sake. GOG just made that decision a lot easier. Hopefully they'll get 1 and 3000 as well. Each SimCity has its own reasons for playing.
HOLY!!!!!!!! Instant buy and buy 2 more copies for friends
gog... you ROCK!!
Just bought two copies and realised that this is a multilingual release o.O Any plans on adding more laguages for other EA classics as well?
Very nice release, definitely wishlisted.
This was something awsome gog. I was really hopping to get something from EA. You made my day.. and the price (for 72hrs) is something that can't be overlooked. Now, some more games to add to catalog:

NFS 1,2,3,4,5,6 - They were a benchmark for racers (well, except 6, maybe 5, but 5 was really great)
C&C - as westwood is belonging to them, it would be also great :)
Harry Potter - hehe :)
NHL - yeah.. some cool good old NHL :)
FIFA - i remember that 97 and 98 :)
BATTLEFIELD 1945,2 - WHOOOAAA.. yes, i know that they shutdown servers but for LAN ;)
Black and white - anyone ?

Once again.. thx :)
Wow... Instant buy... Although the whole skipping over SimCity 3000 concerns me somewhat... It's my fave after all...
Damn it GOG, what's with the shitty review character limit dumb-down?? I've spent nearly 1/2 an hour writing a review only to be pestered by the blasted character limit and spent the next 1/2 hour summarising and it's still too long.. UGH!
Wish I hadn't bought this on steam in the last sale now :(. Great game. Would've liked to have seen 3000 too as I got on best with that one.

Bring it on, as those already posted don't say much :)

Impaler26: Sure, that's the release discount. :D
But the base price is $20 which is way too high.

htown1980: But you can buy it for $5.

Why are you complaining about a price that you cannot even buy it for? If you want it, buy it for $5. If you don't, don't buy it. If you want it, but not now, buy it later when its on sale for $5. I'm sure there is plenty of other theoretical problems you can complain about while you wait… :)
Why should i not mention the fact that the base price is too high? I just posted my opinion like others before and after me. :D
