Is there some issue with asking someone to play SimTower in a VM and finding the items that way?
For example, here's a video of SimTower running on windows 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtMltxWLkaU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtMltxWLkaU
- asveikau 13y agoThe copy I had was 16 bit. So it's worth noting that it won't run in 64-bit Windows. (Did they have a 32-bit version? Or maybe a DOS port that would run in dosbox or freedos? I seem to recall it also ran on Mac System 7.)

- girvo 13y agoI'm certain I had a copy for Windows 95, running in Windows mode, not DOS... Does that mean it was 32bit or no?
- asveikau 13y ago32-bit Windows can run Win16 apps, i.e. those built for Windows 3.1. 64-bit Windows cannot. AFAIK this is rooted in a hardware limitation. Once you enter long mode, you lose vm86 mode. Rather than introduce software emulation to cover this case, Microsoft just said they wouldn't support it.
