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

      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!
