The Turning Tower Mac OS
Sim Tower is now available for Mac! It is time to play this nostalgic game again on your Mac. I used the free abandonware version from Abandonia.com in this Wrapper and works quite nice. The game is windowed and can be slightly adjusted in size stretching the window using the corners of the window. Hope you guys like it! Have fun, its free!
I had a mac with the same problem once, tried resetting the PMU, swapping the battery, and all that, to no avail. I was just about to send it in, until I tried a reboot without any peripherals, and lo and behold, it turned out to be this thing, which I'd just plugged my iPod into (with the dock cable plugged into the back of it), which was somehow keeping the computer from powering up. Turning Mac Minis into Agile Mac OS X ESXI Hosts: Getting to Bare Metal. XServes, and the older sliver tower Mac Pros aren’t being produced, and haven’t been in several years. The new Mac Pro isn’t designed to run as a headless server—it’s targeted at high end graphics and video editing.
Bugs and tips (Thanks Michael Stenlund):
1. To save a game you need to overwrite one of the 3 save games (save1, save2 or save3) I put into the save folder.
2. The windows: Info Bar and Map Window can not be dragged and moved around.
3. Changing costs involves using arrow keys instead of mouse. For the player to be able to change a cost, for example, the cost to rent a hotel room, they need to click the cost and use the arrow keys before the cost will be saved by clicking OK. As the memory use intensifies for this program, after several hours of gameplay it has been noted that the using the arrow keys is not enough. The next solution is to use the arrow keys, click OK, and repeat that step up to 5x to save the new price. A quick cmd+tab to Mac OS X and tab back to Wine solves the issue instantly.
4. No full screen
SimTower allows the player to build and manage the operations of a modern, multi-use skyscraper. They must plan where to place facilities in the tower that include restaurants, condominiums, offices, and elevators. To prevent tenants from vacating their properties, the player must keep their stress low by fulfilling their demands for medical centers, parking lots, recycling facilities, clean hotel rooms with the help of housekeepers, and an efficient transportation system, which involves managing elevator traffic. SimTower, which was built around an elevator simulation program, places a strong emphasis on good elevator management.
