Specify your OS please.
Windows? 1? 2? 3? WfW? 95? 98? ME? W2K? NT? XP? Vista? W7? 32? 64? Great chances you'll need dosbox +W3.x to run the game on your PC. http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=9405 Game runs also fine in VPC/W98SE [Edit] Also interesting: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=25293

Then you'll need to run the game in dosbox/W3 or VPC/W98SE.
Easiest solution will be dosbox/W3 , see links posted above.

64 bits versions are not able to run 16 bits programs like Sim Tower. You will thus never be able to play it on a vanilla install of your 64 bit version.
Follow the links above for alternatives. |

If it's a 16-bit Windows program, it will run in Windows 3.
Windows 3 runs in DOSBox. Grab DOSBox, and then this: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/sho...48&postcount=2 Enjoy.
