Simtower?

Before you get too far, get yourself Yoot Tower. It's same game just with a lot of improvements and fixes. Yoot Saito is a legend.

Don't need to guess. It took me many years to realize elevator shafts could hold more than one elevator car.

I don't need to guess, I know it is Sim Tower

Great, now I'm hearing that loop of elevator dings and office chatter!

I played that new in the box :|

I used to love this game as a kid. Tried to return to it a few years later though and found it was one of those 'game speed = cpu speed' setups which was unplayably fast on my new 800mhz machine. I should track down an emulator for it...

Ah SimTower is so fun lol I played it in the browser a few weeks back just to experience it again. Those sim games are always a blast, I’ll have to go back to Simcity and SimCopter sometime

Loved this game as a kid. What's the best modern version?

I can still hear it

I was gonna guess something to do with King Kong. Hope life gets out of your way sooner than later!

I never played it, but I saw a video of it (LGR, I think?)

Brings me back to middle school where our Shop (machines/wood) teacher had these installed on the like 2 class computers.

IIRC I think this is the game where you can dig (?) or maybe scroll down towards the bottom left corner and there was some kind of secret buried at the bottom of the map. It’s all a bit fuzzy now.

I got this game on a 3-in-1 CD, bundled with Sim Isle and the OG Sim City. I already had Sim City, but it was a much older floppy release that, I think, was only in black and white. The Sim City on the CD was in color and came with some extra scenarios and tile sets.

Project Highrise is very similar! And its a bit newer.

I recall hearing that that this game was originally an elevator algorithm simulator, and that if you right-click in an elevator pit, you can fiddle with the algo.

All I remember from this is my brother's advice to never build condos. Not sure how true it was.

Yoot Saito also directed the wonder feudal japanese wargame/pinball simulation with microphone support Odama. I still have my copy and mic!

Never saw it before. My best guess would have been that one fun flash game on armorgames where you build a office complex with workers inside pushing buttons. Which name I have also sadly forgot. :(

Oh man! I actually knew this one, but I was too late.

Keep it up! I'll get it one of these days.

I loved that game, very simple but so much fun
