SimTower

Created by Yoot Saito and published by Maxis, the objective of SimTower is to construct and manage a towering skyscraper and keep its occupants happy. Offices, hotels, and condominiums give tenants places to live and work, while shops and restaurants provide commercial balance. Utilities such as hospitals and recycling centers become necessary as the tower grows in size.

One of the key activities of the game is effectively managing and building elevators in order to allow occupants to move between floors efficiently. Waiting for an elevator for too long causes the residents to stress (indicated by a black, pink or red colour as they become more stressed). Too much stress causes them to permanently leave the tower.

The player's progress is based on a star system, similar to how hotels are ranked, with new stars awarded for meeting population milestones and other conditions. Population is measured by the number of individuals currently in the tower; many hotel rooms will cause population to soar during the night. As the tower's rating improves, more facilities can be built by the player, such as a cinema.

There's a SimTower strategy guide.
