On the House: SimCity 2000 Special Edition is free through Origin

Absolutely free

If even after all this time you still can't get the bad taste of the latest SimCity out of your mouth, then perhaps SimCity 2000 might be the next best palate cleanser. And did we mention it's free? Oh yeah, we did, in the title.

Origin's On the house program handpicks various classic games and gives them to fans absolutely free of charge. All you need to do is head on over to the On the house page and add the game to your Origin Library completely 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.

It's no SimCity 4, but hey, it's FREE! Can't argue with that.
