Easily at the top of my dream list. This has to be one of the best games relative to its obscurity, and MASSIVELY derserving of a preservation effort. This is an excellent game which vastly improves on the original Simtower in every way. The english localised version lacked much of the additional japanese content and levels- but playing a japanese (The Tower II) install with some minimal modification to the exe (due to otherwise sharing the same game data) allowed playing it with a mostly understandable UI. Simtower was one of the first games i played as a kid, and is pretty rough coming back to today, despite its cult following. It's hard to understate just how much better the sequel is, and it's criminal that it's so hard to play this game today.

SimTower was one of my favorite games as a child. It was fun building a high rise mixing multiple floors from housing to movie theaters and restaurants while fiddling with the elevator system. It had a lot of personality, like an ant farm that you could build up and up. So this sequel is amazingly fascinating to me

In the arcade mode, the player can freely choose vehicles they wish to use, and can enable damage. However, the Gran Turismo Mode requires the player to earn driver's licenses, pay for vehicles, and earn trophies in order to unlock new courses. Gran Turismo 2 features nearly 650 automobiles and 27 racing tracks, including rally tracks. Compared with Gran Turismo, the gameplay, physics and graphics are very similar. The major changes are the vastly expanded number of cars, tracks and races in simulation mode. Other differences include that the player can race events separately, if they don't want to enter the whole tournament. The player is no longer able to "qualify" for each race entered.
