Anyone ever play Sim Tower?

A very old game, from 1995, some of you might not have even been born then but I have always been tempted to but it, if I could get it to work.

Just wondered if anyone has ever played it before or other old Sim games?

    Sim Tower was fun. I haven't played it in about 14 years, though. My first Sims game was SimCity 2000. I wish someone would make a new Sim Tower with modern graphics.

    Oh I loved that game!

    I actually still have it and up till 4 years ago I could even still get to play on my computer albeit in a small windowed screen.

    I bought it and Sim Ant at the same time loved them both. :)

    Sim Tower was great! However, I prefer Yoot Tower. It was designed by Yoot Saito, who was one of the Sim Tower designers, as a sequel. For some reason, it never really caught on in the States. It has more features, though, and lots of beautiful locations and scenarios and, to my mind, was just more fun.

    I always wanted to try Sim Ant, but I suppose it is now by far too late to get such an old game to run on a modern computer.

    I still enjoy playing Sim Tower on my old XP computer in the back room. I also have Sim Ant, which is fun, and Sim Earth, but found that one I never seemed to accomplish anything much.
    I have been playing The Sims since 2001, when Livin Large came out. My avatar deliberately looks like Chris Roomies from TS1.

    Sim Tower becomes a game of counting and logistics once you get the trick of it lol I still have all the old sim games - SimSafari, SimAnt, SimThemePark, SimFarm....

    I never played tower but i played Earth all of the Sim Citys . Its likely you could get tower to work but you might need a 3rd party program if the normal compatibility options didnt work

    I played Sim Tower, also Theme Hospital and Theme Park.

    I am so ancient that as a kid I also played a game on Commodore 64 that was like an early version of Sims. It had a little guy and a dog in a house and I could feed the dog, make the little person take a shower, cook dinner etc. I remember thinking before Sims came out that I could do with an updated version of that.

    When Sims 1 was announced, I knew designers were finally building the games I had dreamed of lol!

    I think you can download Sim Towere here...

    OMG! That was it! That is why I laugh when I hear people complain about the graphics in Sims 4! Back in the day this thing was cutting edge lol! Thank you @MrGodard for finding that!

    The only problem was you couldn't save it so you just had to leave your TV on day and night?!
