Makes me want to play Sim Tower again. There’s something so satisfying about watching a machine just dutifully work through queued tasks like this.

- Sohcahtoa82 3mo agoIf you liked SimTower, Project Highrise is worth taking a look into. https://store.steampowered.com/app/423580/Project_Highrise/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/423580/Project_Highrise/
- stackskipton 3mo agoProject Highrise doesn't have elevator simulation. Elevator is just portal that teleports the sim to proper floor.
- jcranmer 3mo agoYeah, the fact that Project Highrise doesn't handle the transportation part of the game means that it never scratched the same itch SimTower did.
- Sohcahtoa82 3mo agoYeah, maybe that's what was it. Tbh, while I bring up Project Highrise whenever someone mentions SimTower, I did always feel like it was missing something. Something always felt slightly soulless about Project Highrise.
- Waterluvian 3mo agoFor me the issue is that it doesn’t look and sound like Sim Tower. Which I’m sure is mainly just nostalgia but that’s still a valid reason why I probably love it so.
- wlesieutre 3mo agoA fun tidbit about Sim Tower: > 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." https://web.archive.org/web/20090916193335/http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20041018/adams_01.shtml https://web.archive.org/web/20090916193335/http://www.gamasu...
