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

        Sid Meier&#x27;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&#x27;s going to release the source code soon...

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

            Sid Meier wasn&#x27;t involved with SimTower, GP is mistaken.

        I never really &quot;got&quot; 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.

        &gt; People don&#x27;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.
