@ yarahi - it works for me. (I'm using Chrome.)

[Yarahi 1,823]

Firefox problem then? I just get a message on the site saying "your search did not return in any games" Searchfrase beeing eaweek

[7238320 77]

mmm... the same phrase returns 18 titles for me for both IE and Chrome. Don't have Firefox on this pc, sorry I can't check that for you.

[Yarahi 1,823]

Oh well, no biggy. Have had the game in various forms since it was released (currently on second copy of deluxe). Was just curious....

Using Firefox 15.0.1 and the link worked fine for me.

I don't know if this will work/help, but here's a direct link...

yarahi, I bet your problem is that you're in Norway. Content like this is often limited to people in certain countries.

Just did. It works OK for me. I suspect that you need a membership in the site to see it. Try the front door.

How does this work, Nonny? Do I have to run the game through a program they have me download (Like Steam, Origin, Impulse, etc)? Do I get a "ticket" that I use with some other program or service? Do I download installation files that I can put in my archives and never have to worry about? Is it something where I have to download the game from their servers each time I wish to reinstall?

You pay your money and get a download link. You download the installer, which comes with instructions on how to save it.

There is an option during the install to keep the install folder. You do that and you have a permanent copy of the game installer. I just renamed it for safety. You can install the game on as many machines as you like simply by copying the installation suite.

You get the 1,1,641,1 version which is fully patched and diskless. No nonsense about funny directories and having to log on to the vendor. Just be careful that it installs to Program Files and not "Program Files (x86)". It doesn't need to be there, but if are running Windows 7 it will try to put it there. And no snoopware either.

You will get newsletters, but you can turn them off.

If I did not think that SimCity 4 was so buggy and Passé, I would probably buy it.

Passé? For its time it was typical. As for the bugs, blame that on the marketing guys at EA. If they weren't such misers, they would now make the source public so that it could be fixed. Would give a lot of new life to the game, and make it possible to extend some of the stuff we've all been crying about. And don't think that having the source code would make things easy. Understanding some one else's code is always difficult.
