SimTower: The Vertical Empire is a construction and management simulation game developed by OPeNBooK Co., Ltd. and published by OPeNBooK Co., Ltd. for the Sega Saturn in 1996. The game allows players to build and manage a skyscraper, aiming to create a profitable and efficient vertical empire.
Players start with a plot of land and limited funds, tasked with constructing various facilities such as offices, apartments, restaurants, and shops. The goal is to balance the needs of tenants, maintain a steady income, and expand the building to achieve a five-star rating. Strategic planning is essential, as the placement of elevators, stairs, and other infrastructure impacts the building’s efficiency and tenant satisfaction.
The game features a top-down perspective, with a user-friendly interface that allows players to monitor and manage the building’s operations. As the tower grows, players must address challenges such as traffic congestion, tenant complaints, and financial management to ensure the building’s success.
