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

L.A. Noire
L.A. NoireL.A. Noire is a neo-noir detective action-adventure video game developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games. It was initially released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms on 17 May 2011; a Microsoft Windows port was later released on 8 November 2011. L.A. Noire is set in Los Angeles in 1947 and challenges the player, controlling a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer, to solve a range of cases across five divisions. Players must investigate crime scenes for clues, follow up leads, and interrogate suspects, and the player's success at these activities will impact how much of each case's story is revealed. The game draws heavily from both the plot and aesthetic elements of film noir—stylistic films made popular in the 1940s and 1950s that share similar visual styles and themes, including crime and moral ambiguity—along with drawing inspiration from real-life crimes for its in-game cases, based upon what was reported by the Los Angeles media in 1947. The game uses a distinctive colour palette, but in homage to film noir it includes the option to play the game in black and white. Various plot elements reference the major themes of detective and mobster stories such as The Naked City, Chinatown, The Untouchables, The Black Dahlia, and L.A. Confidential.
