- Ntrails 10y agoI would like to try that out - if you're ok sharing?
- erikb 10y agoI'm also interested.
- braythwayt 10y agoSimTower was so fascinating as a problem.
- thallian 10y agoSo many hours that I lost trying to optimize the lifts in SimTower. Loved the game.
- detritus 10y agoSimAnt is the only game I can get to work on my Amiga1200, as it was installed on the HD - all the 3.5" disks I had otherwise have [obviously] rotted over the intervening 20+ years. A great wee game - I always hoped they'd revisit the idea with an updated version. One day, perhaps!
- wlesieutre 10y agoSome fun history on SimTower: > After my lecture, a Maxis employee who shall remain nameless buttonholed me. "You guessed right," she said. "Sim Tower was built around a real elevator simulation program we bought from a Japanese guy." http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/2150/the_designers_notebook_the_.php http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/2150/the_designers_not...
- ChoGGi 10y agoThere is a sequel to SimTower from the same designer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoot_Tower https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoot_Tower For those that care, it's a 32bit executable (playable in 64bit Windows)
- simcop2387 10y agoI loved simant as a kid but tried to replay it when i was a teenager. I discovered then that the simulation was fairly broken and simplistic which kinda bummed me out, but I learned how to beat the game in <10 minutes. But other people have managed to get that even faster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1B24Vvik2I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1B24Vvik2I
