It came out in 1995 so of course it was a big deal to have it play on Windows 95. I don't understand why people say SimTower was a DOS game. Or Macintosh System 7 or higher with a 68030 or above Or Windows 3.1, Windows 95 or higher with a 386 or above SimCity 2000 Special Edition Windows 95 CD bundle with SimTower, $60 Here are the system requirements for every OS it was released on:Īvailable for Windows 3.1/Windows 95/Macintosh, $15 I'd be surprised if any of the installers online pointed to the 3.1 installer though, because that was floppies only if I remember correctly. Unfortunately you need to be emulating Windows 3.1, 95, or 98 to get this to run. No amount of 'EXPAND' or any other decompression command will install the game for you.
Yes, *.?_ files are compressed, but they're compressed in such a way that the windows SETUP.EXE installer can read them. Even when I had it and it was on 3.5' floppies it was still a Windows game. In fact, SimTower never came out for DOS, so you won't be able to find a DOS installer. The file linked to on Abandonia (and anywhere else I've found on the web) is a Windows installer.
