LGR - Yoot Tower/The Tower II (Patreon)

Hi all! Hope you've had a pleasant enough week. And if not, perhaps a 20 minute LGR retrospective on the sequel to SimTower is able to lift your spirits somewhat.

Oh yes, this one's been on my agenda for... jeez, a decade now? Yeah it appears that it's been just over ten years since I covered SimTower on LGR. Lovely.

So why am I covering it now? Because I needed a pick-me-up, honestly. And this game remains one of my favorites, being a downright pleasant experience that always manages to give me a mental recharge. Although now that I've spent a couple dozen hours with it over the past week, I'm somewhat bummed all over again that all the awesome add-ons and updates for the original Japanese version, The Tower II, never made it into Yoot Tower! Beyond a few billboards, the plugins and Towerkits are incompatible. I can only hope that bringing attention to this will result in someone more skilled than me being able to combine The Tower II and Yoot Tower together at last, but who knows. That'd be amazing though.

Anyway, it's still plenty fun even without Japanese stores and kaiju attacks, so I hope you enjoy the retrospective and a have a nice upcoming week! Stay safe out there.
