Sim Tower would deserve a spot on the list if it was more modern. It was originally built as an elevator simulation and then turned into a game, and it shows. Unfortunately, it's a 16 bit application and thus not well suited for modern systems. It was unstable even back then, time was tied to CPU speed, and playing with DosBox and corresponding bad mouse behavior (no acceleration) isn't fun.
Project Highrise seems to mostly omit the fine-grained elevator control that was at the core of Sim Tower, so the most recent successor that I'm aware of is Yoot Tower, which I didn't get around to trying yet. Unfortunately neither SimTower nor Yoot Tower seem to be available legally.

- solardev 3y agoThere's a current discussion about whether we should also make room for non-Steam games, especially older but great titles: https://github.com/arcataroger/awesome-engineering-games/discussions/15 https://github.com/arcataroger/awesome-engineering-games/dis... If that doesn't happen, there could very well be an sibling list of "Oldies but goodies DOS-era engineering games"?
