    Wow!

    There was a little-known sequel to SimTower called Yoot Tower (named after Yoot Saito). It was a commercial flop, but I played it in the 2000s and again in the 2010s and very much enjoyed it! It had a lot of added customizability (more choices of restaurants and shops, for one thing). I would love to see that game recreated.

    Oh my gosh, this really brought me back. Haven't played that game in 30 years. What a great use of AI. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

    Very cool! I used to play this game for a few minutes every morning at a friends place before school. With the clone being open source, would you be open to QoL patches? I don’t have anything specific in mind, just curious how close to the original you want to stay.

    Amazing, loved this game when I was younger. I would keep restarting every time I thought of a more effective layout.

    I don't think I ever made it to the cathedral though.

    I loved this game so much. Can't wait to see Santa.
