[edit] Dual Port Disc?
My Sim Tower CD runes on Mac and Winodws. If u put it in a mac it opens a Mac partition and runs the game, same in Windows [replace the word mac with Windows]. It works on both, but the cheats I know only work on windows, and the save game files arent compatible... 75.153.204.116 01:26, 5 February 2007 (UTC) [RealG187 not signed in]
My CD is the same. Maybe it's worth mentioning? The cheats I know of also work on Mac though. T3h 08:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Comparison table
I started work on a comparison table of the three main 'tower' games, from the Tower Series however, ive run out of motivation ti finish it, i think it needs a bit of organising and more features added, but on top of that, i cant decide where it would be worth posting it? under which game? originally i intended posting it on the Sim Tower page but then thought maybe itd be worth creating a new page to compare the 3 as the table could become quite big. Anyway if anyone feels like completing and adding this table, go ahead, if not, i might come back to it one day:

[edit] star system
could someone please state the population levels needed to attain each star level
- from the help file "2=300, 3=1000+security office, 4=5000+hotel suite+recycling+medical+VIP, 5=15000+cathedral" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.210.230.34 (talk) 02:58, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
To go from 1 to 2 stars, you need a population of 300. To go from 2 to 3 stars, you need a population of 1,000 plus more than one Security Office. To go from 3 to 4 stars, you need a population of 5,000, plus more than one Hotel Suite placed, plus Recycling and Medical demands met, plus a favorable VIP rating. To go from 4 to 5 stars, you need a population of 10,000, plus a Metro station. To go from 5 stars to Tower, you need a population of 15,000 plus a Cathedral.

[edit] September 11th, 2001 image controversy
I recall reading online shortly after 9/11 that the image on the box and all products was causing a controversy. The image does look very similar to the 9/11 attack (with fire and smoke pouring out the side of the tower). The game was released a few years before but was still for sale. A few months later I purchased a copy of the game online (so I'm somewhat sure it wasn't sitting in the back of a software store for a year or two before I purchased it). The first thing I noticed was that the smoke and fire was edited out on the box. Everything else was the same in the image. On the CD-ROM the image (which was printed on in a ghost type image) still contained the smoke and fire. Methinks they were able to get new boxes made up and had a few people switch them over in a warehouse somewhere or they just hadn't packaged them yet and got the new boxes in before the product was shipped.. just couldn't do anything about the CD-ROMs. Anyway, I looked everywhere online and couldn't find anything referencing this. I know it happened.. I remember seeing the old box a couple years before. Its worth mentioning. Cs302b 02:40, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Highest Population?
Shouldn't we include the highest known population achieved to date? So far the highest I've come across is the one by Drake which has a population of over 42000 and can be found on McLure's SimTower Stuff.
