Sequel to SimTower. With more options for tower content, and multiple locations each with its own unique challenges, this is a good follow-up to the classic original.
A note about the downloads available from above:
- The first file, YootTower.toast_.sit, is the English version, Yoot Tower.
- The second file, thetowerii_mac_iso.zip, is the Japanese version, The Tower II.

Works in Classic, untested in SheepShaver. PowerPC only.
Comments
@Defender Thanks for uploading the plugins for The Tower II, however I note a few of the files in the 7zip are .sea (Self-Extracting Archive) files. These tend to get destroyed when not compressed in a .sit file due to how resource/data forks work. Would you mind re-uploading this as a .sit file instead of a .7zip please? Please note if any Classic Mac OS application or SEA file sits on a volume that isn't HFS/APFS formatted that isn't compressed into a .sit will get damaged beyond repair. Thanks, -KGLlewellyn
Yoot Tower is awesome, and I too was drawn here by LGR's latest video!
LGR's recent video reminded me that I never threw up a collection of Japanese plug-ins I acquired a while ago. So there they are as the third file as of this writing. Feel free to redo them into whatever formatting you guys prefer. There's a bunch more shops and stuff in there.
I think I have some of the other levels on an older computer too, so maybe in another few years I'll get around to finding more stuff.
So the spelling of "Yukata" and "OPeNBook9003" in the screenshot are typos? Good to know, mossy_11, thank you.
The "K" is back
His name is indeed Yutaka "Yoot" Saito. And the correct spelling on the company is OPeNBooK9003. It formed as part of a merger between Saito's studio, OPeNBooK, and the company behind Aquazone, 9003 Inc.
He actually thought Aquazone — and especially its sequel — was too realistic and came up with the original idea for Seaman during a lunchtime discussion among staff there one day, around the time Yoot Tower was in development. (I told this story in more detail in my book.)
Oh, I don't know the specifics. May be this game's credits screen is the one misspelled, because "Yoot" is probably a nickname for Yutaka and he has more than one game to his career which wikiped would draw upon when they write Yutaka.
And "Yoot Saito" is already credited buried deep in this page data but the summary at top right typically just shows one entry when more than one is supplied.
I did try doing some homework, in case either Yutaka/Yukata isn't a real Japanese word/name ... but it looks like they both are words. I also see OPeNBooK spelled with cap K when the 9003 is dropped, like here.
Maybe you'll need to correct the Wikipedia pages, SkyCapt.
And perhaps Yukata Saito should be credited as being the author above, as well?
Time flies (I bump this.)
Scrnshot here says the designer's name is "Yukata Saito" but wikipedia is calling him "Yutaka Saito" repeatedly ? Also according to same scrnshot "OPeNBook9003" does not have a capital letter 'k' but drupal isn't allowing me to change that in the author field.
This is a fantastic game. SimTower was incredibly addictive and fun, and this game really is even better because it has so many new feautres. I wish all games were like this today.
Give it a try. If anyone needs a download link for it (because the link above is temporarily disabled).
Thanks guys!
How cool!! I never knew Sim Tower even had a sequel!
Thank you
