Regardless; this seems to be the only way to run Simtower on a modern PC.

Might not be a bad idea to update the game page to note that?

O RLY?

Other valid possibilities:
VPC/MsDos-W3
VPC/W98SE
VPC/XP
Win7 XP mode (however this one kinda sux for gaming purposes)

VirtualBox/ + all those listed above

VMWare/ + all those listed above

Etcetera ....etcetera .... dosbox/W3 is far from 'the only way' to run that game .....

I'm trying to run this game using win3.1 through DOSbox. I've been able to install the game, although when I first tried to run simtower.exe, it attempted to find the best resolution for about 30 seconds, then just quit. No error message, and win 3.1 appeared to just completely freeze up. I quit Dosbox and tried again, and now it just freezes win 3.1 when I try to open the program. I've tried re-installing the game with no luck. Any suggestions?

Hello!

I finally installed dosbos + win3 + simtower. I can start everything and play the game. However, there is one thing that is quite frustrating. I can't enable fast mode. Any ideas how to fix that?

Btw, I got everything from abandonia. So, I should have the same version as you guys have.
