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.)
We don't control the prices, we can suggest a price but the rights holder/publisher has the final say :)

mistermumbles: One quick Google search would tell you that it goes for a regular price of $20 on every other digital retailer. That's EA's, not GOG's doing.

So why not take advantage off the GOG release discount? I sure did! ;)

Edit: Ninja-ed by a smurf. Who'd a thunk? =P
Staff advantage is why I am able to ninja folks on certain topics :P

serpantino: 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?
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.

zeffyr: Wow, it's selling so fast and going up in bestselling titles list - happy to see that :-)

BTW, is there any reason I don't see latest Tex Murphy game in bestselling list?
Probably because people are waiting for a sale on it? :D

zeffyr: No, I mean in a whole list, scrolled down to the bottom there is no Tesla Effect.
Refresh and try again, sometimes that list goes wonky for me and displays a game twice...

kiselev: Could you please answer questions about mac version? Will you add mac version, and if you will, when are you planning to do this (approximately)?
As of right now, we can't add the Mac version and I don't know if or when we'll be able to. I hope that helps somewhat :)
