Game Review (written by Excessumcarcer) Added on: 09/04/2006
If you are looking for a fun, yet simple game, then Simtower is it. It’s 2D, as most sim games. The games point is to build a tower, and to place the cathedral piece on top completing your tower. But, to get there, you must overcome obstacles. You start out with absolutely nothing but dirt. You can only build a few things like offices and condos. I personally like to build a lot of offices, but that is me. You have a few things you need to complete to get more objects to build, but with more objects comes more challenges.

Like, if you have mass amount of people, but you can’t build a parking garage, no one complains. But, as

soon as you have the ability, people become angry and if you don’t build quick enough, then they leave. This game, I have spent 30+ hours on, and I am currently playing it again. Out of all the sim games, this is in the top 5.
The graphics in this game are like most sim games, so you should expect them to be similar. It’s hard to judge gameplay because there’s not really any gameplay, its a sim game. Basically you place what you want, where you want it, and if people don’t like it, they’ll appear red. And if you don’t fix it with in a short time, they leave. So lots of strategically placed elevators are needed. I personally like these games because you control everything. In simtower, you can raise rent, the amount when you sell a condo, place cleaning services, garbage places, shops, anything and everything you would need to build a tower and have it survive. But, the hardest thing in my opinion is to make money. It’s very easy to go over budget. Like, if you spend all your money and you show a profit loss of 1million at the end of the quarter, you’ll be hurting for a long time trying to recover from it. But, on the other end, it’s also easy to stay afloat. Office buildings are great for weekdays, and restaurants and shops are great for weekends. Overall, this game is awesome. I’d give a 9/10 if I had to give numbers. There are a couple small things I didn’t like, but, it doesn’t have a direct impact on the game itself. Like, certain things can’t be destroyed once they are place. But, if you pay attention, that wont matter. Like, if you wait and place it exactly where you want instead of what I do, just place it where ever it looks good. But, like I said, this game is 9/10. A game that should be played, especially if you like sim games.

I have always loved simtower. I am so happy to be able to play it again. It's a challenging yet relaxing game. I can't believe that Maxis never came out with an updated version of the game.

The best sim game ever created. The other sim games become to easy to beat and then you just run out of things to do. Simtower is challenging, but fun.
 
 
Faraver1 (04/20/2008)
Awesome game! One of the best sim games ever!
 
 
Utmostroxy (04/17/2008)
One of my all time favourite games!

We always enjoyed this game, it's an old favorite. We were never able to keep the sims happy and only got to the tower once, but it's still a fun easy going game. Great if you want to just zone and play a fun little game.

Awesome game.

Played this game for the first time in 1995 and was impressed with the way you had to build. Instead of all over a map you just built straight up and down. I always started from the far edge of the screen and expanded from there. Also, if you have everything set right and are making an income just let it run overnight and you'll have quite abit of money in the morning.

Great game.

This is one of the best games of the early PC age. I spent hours on this game! Game play is interesting and fun. This along with SimCity 2000 were probably the best early games that I remember playing. It’s worth downloading.

Fantastic and fun old school game.

Sim Tower, one of the many fun games me and my friends used to play in primary school. It was great then and it’s still good now.

It takes me back to childhood, and never gets old.

This game is a classic, entertains for hours. Had a lot of fun playing this game when I was younger, I’m happy I could find it and play again.

Great game. Played it for hours on end! Really addicting! Love all the sim games, this is definitely one of my favourite ones
 
 
Racy73 (11/03/2007)
I love this game. It’s simple but you really need to do some thinking on how to play it. Getting it right so that it does what you want to do is really challenging. And you can try so many different combinations. It’s too addictive!
 
 
Fredstick (10/28/2007)
I like this classic game, me and my sister used to play this very often.
 
 
Zzjayzz (10/28/2007)
A good, simple, straight forward game with many custom options available for your very own sim enterprise. 4/5 for a classic game
 
 
Rune506 (10/27/2007)
Very fun game.
 
 
Matt (10/19/2007)
Quality game, well thought out. I like to play games with easy commands and simple strategy
 
 
Rotar70 (10/15/2007)
This is quite a tricky game for first timers. It’s a struggle to keep your patrons happy and also bring in the money. Do it well enough and you’ll get 5 star hotel status.
 
 
Snow06182 (09/30/2007)
I love this game! It is my favorite of all Sims.
 
 
Skuzlebut4 (07/06/2007)
One of the best Sim games created. Very basic game play, but still challenging. After a while though you need to find ways to keep it fun or else you're just building the same tower over and over again.
 
 
Deified (07/02/2007)
this is a great time to pass time like when you're at the airport or on the crapper. lol I have lots of fun playing this game.
