They must plan where to place facilities in the tower that include restaurants, condominiums, offices, and elevators. To prevent tenants from vacating their properties, the player must keep their stress low by fulfilling their demands for medical centers, parking lots, recycling facilities, clean hotel rooms with the help of housekeepers, and an efficient transportation system, which involves managing elevator traffic.(32-bit Systems) SimTower, which was built around an elevator simulation program, places a strong emphasis on good elevator management.[4]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe game begins with a one-star tower with limited building options. To increase the tower's star rating, it must attract more tenants by providing more living space. New facilities are made available while the tower progresses from a one-star rating to a five-star rating. The tower is limited to a maximum of 100 floors above ground and nine stories below ground. Standard elevators, which can span a maximum of 30 floors, and express elevators, which can span the entire height of the building, must be used efficiently to decrease tenant stress.(32-bit Systems)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCertain events can take place while managing the tower. For example, terrorists may phone the player to let them know that they have hidden a bomb in the building, and that they demand a ransom. If the ransom is not paid, then security services must find the bomb before it detonates, or else the tower will incur significant damages.(32-bit Systems) If the player builds facilities underground, the game may notify them that their workers have discovered gold treasure, which gives the player a significant amount of funds. At random intervals during the game, there are notifications that state that a VIP will be visiting the tower soon, so the player must prepare for their visit. If the VIP enjoys their visit because of variables such as a comfortable hotel suite and efficient navigation, the VIP will give the tower a favorable rating. A favorable rating would then allow the tower to advance to the next star level, assuming the other qualifications are met. Although it does not have any impact on the tower, at the end of the fourth quarter every year in the game, Santa Claus and his reindeer fly across the tower.[5]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility\/platform sections in 'What You Get']\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOMPATIBILITY:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComputers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words \"system requirements\" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePLATFORM:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or Vista will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or Vista with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For Macintosh games, most older games will need to be run in classic mode if you have a newer MAC OS version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMEDIA FORMAT:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5\" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25\" floppy drive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSHIPPING:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe typically ship all items out within 2-3 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage. We combine shipping and handling, with each additional item after the first just $2 more. Message us for an invoice if Ebay doesn't automatically adjust it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInternational buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast\/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAsk questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease message us prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback in order for us to help solve your problem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Maxis","offers":[{"title":"Like New In Sleeve","offer_id":51400513126678,"sku":"124","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Like New In CD Case","offer_id":51400513159446,"sku":"269","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used, But Great Condition In CD Case","offer_id":51400513192214,"sku":"476","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51400513224982,"sku":"1381","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used In CD Case","offer_id":51400513257750,"sku":"5676","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used, But Great Condition In Box","offer_id":51400513290518,"sku":"7606","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used In Box","offer_id":51400513323286,"sku":"9863","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/20071216151626608_afbe6350-a56e-4afb-8e77-02a442bdfc00.jpg?v=1781060433","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/simtower-2","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
