This is great, but to me, the definitive elevator scheduling game was SimTower.


I never really "got" sim tower growing up, I liked sim city but bounced off tower. It only clicked years later when I read that it was an elevator simulator that got fleshed out a bit, Knowing this I enjoy it quite a bit more today than younger me who I guess was expecting a vertical simcity.


> People don't usually remember the average amount of time they wait. They fixate on those times when the elevator took FOREVER, the p90 case.

I would always get a chuckle out of seeing some poor soul waiting 3 hours to go down a few floors after work, only because I failed to add stairs to the lobby.


Sid Meier's Elevator Manager was such a great game... so much nostalgia.


Yoot Saito, actually, although it does really feel like a Sid Meier or a Will Wright game.


Yoot Tower has been on my bucketlist of games to play for a while now


Waiting for Don Hopkins to jump into this thread, saying how he's going to release the source code soon...

(https://github.com/YootTowerManagement/YootTower if you haven't seen one of his messages on the topic before)


The only result I get in Google for this is... this post


Sid Meier wasn't involved with SimTower, GP is mistaken.
