Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Sorry everyone life has really gotten in the way as of late. Hopefully this calm down soon and I can do these more frequently again.

As always the game has had an US release.

I’ll release the answer if no one answers. Please refrain from using image search

Can you guess the game ?

That game was so good but fuck I never managed to win 😭

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Even if you didn't know what it was, you could narrow down the release date to the mid 90s just from the scrollbar.

I don't need to guess, I know it is Sim Tower

[–] davad@lemmy.world 2 points 35 minutes ago

Same. I saw the picture before reading the title and immediately thought, "Cool! Someone's playing SimTower! I haven't seen that game in ages!"

Before you get too far, get yourself Yoot Tower. It's same game just with a lot of improvements and fixes. Yoot Saito is a legend.

I used to love this game as a kid. Tried to return to it a few years later though and found it was one of those 'game speed = cpu speed' setups which was unplayably fast on my new 800mhz machine. I should track down an emulator for it...

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 6 points 1 hour ago

I played that new in the box :|

[–] roundabout@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 hour ago

Ah SimTower is so fun lol I played it in the browser a few weeks back just to experience it again. Those sim games are always a blast, I’ll have to go back to Simcity and SimCopter sometime

[–] sam_the_tech@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

I was gonna guess something to do with King Kong. Hope life gets out of your way sooner than later!

[–] vogi@piefed.social 1 points 40 minutes ago

Never saw it before. My best guess would have been that one fun flash game on armorgames where you build a office complex with workers inside pushing buttons. Which name I have also sadly forgot. :(
