Nostalgia time! Get SimCity 2000 for free here

SimCity 2000 - the classic city-building PC game, is available for free for a limited time letting you re-live the 90s all over again.
Normally priced at $5.99, the game is free on EA's Origin platform for the time being, as part of EA's "On the House" promo.

Reads the page: "One of the most beloved retro EA games is now available On the House on Origin. Now you can step back in time absolutely free.

This classic title goes way beyond building a city. You'll be laying down districts, assuring everyone has power and water, acting as the mayor, and making sure to keep your citizens happy, healthy, and wealthy. The game's iconic art style will transport you back in time.

Want to play now for free? Just log in to Origin, head to the On the House page, and download SimCity 2000 to your "My Games" library. You'll be able to play it whenever you want."


The game available is the "Special Edition" version, released in 1995 for Windows and DOS gamers.

You have to download and install Origin which is bloatware IMHO before you can get the "free" download.
