SimTower [Posted on 2005-04-04] SimTower is a really great game, but the graphics for people really stink. They are just like pixeled black dots-and when they are red they are angry, if they are blue, they are given a specific name-and the movie places need more movie options. Plus you need to put elevators for higher floors--from 45 to 100 (if you ever reach it)or more. Overall, it is very fun, but don't expect it to have very good graphics!
An oldy but a goody. [Posted on 2005-11-23] I think Sim Tower suffered by virtue of the fact although it was highly inventive, engaging and fun; it looked old fashioned, awkward and silly in a short space of time.
Had it been released in a time when computer technology was not so rapid in it's change and advancement then it may have had a chance to become a classic game.
That said, in my opinion it is a bit of a gem and really quite subtly educational. It has it's faults and flaws but they are part of the fun really. A tip I would offer is to leave it running overnight to build up building funds. You may return to minor disasters, flea bitten hotel rooms, fires, bombs, out of business stores; but you will have the capital to remedy the situation and do some more building. Some good old fashioned kind of computer fun if that can indeed be said!
Aaron Walsh's Simtower Review [Posted on 2006-07-28] I love the Simtower game. And even though the game can be hard at times, it is very fun. I just wish that Simtower was Windows XP Compatible.
I was hooked! [Posted on 2007-11-28] I got this game when I was in 6th grade and still play it today. I have children of my own and they love to watch me play! I love Maxis and most of their games.
Bottom line... Most kids would love this game, it is simple and entertaining.
past user [Posted on 2008-03-19] tho' i did actually managed to build the tower and have the wedding on the roof once it was rather frustrating to play for the most part. what i thought was a game about building a mall/ apt buildting was really all about the elevators. seems the main point of the game was to create a 100 story building with a series of elevators that would take the sims from the parking garage to the roof considering the constraints of how many floors a sim was willing to stay on one elevator and how many times they were willing to change elevators. it was tedious at times but doable.
