This looks a lot like SimTower which was one of my favorite games! Definitely checking this out.

    SimTower actually runs OK with Windows 10 (64 bit) the UI can be a bit small with modern resolutions. It's been a few years, but I believe it was the winevdm solution cited on PGW. I ran a bunch of 3.1 era games for fun.

    I played SimTower a lot as kid. Turns out the developer of SimTower (Maxis was the publisher outstide of Japan where it was released as The Tower) released a sequel called Yoot Tower. It is nice upgrade even if the core of the two games are extremely similar. It also works on W10.

    But it's always good to try new games. :)

    Cheers!

    A modern sim tower would be such a low hanging fruit for indie devs, someone should make a spiritual successor

    Currently only Mixed with a good deal of folks claiming bugs and balance issues despite being "released" status. A shame, I love both these categories and badly need a good one of either. (Come onnnnn Metropolis 1998!)

    Thanks for the scoop though, friend! Always appreciated!

    Enjoy!

    I saw the mixed reviews. I think there is an opportunity for the developer to fix the issues highlighted in the reviews. The concept is interesting and it definitely caught on with people (in context of a true indie game). Let's hope that I am not being overly optimistic. :)

    Cheers!
