    Anyone played The Tower SP for Game Boy Advance. I have been considering buying this and I was wondering if it is any good. Thanks in advance!

    I haven't played The Tower GBA itself, but if you ever played Sim Tower, it pretty much looks identical to that.

    This is one of the few reviews I could find.

    Apparently pretty good.
    Mostly just play Nintendo 64. If you've got games PM me! Cart only.

    I've played it. It's more polished than Sim Tower and has a ton of scenarios that'll keep you busy for awhile.

    GameSpot have a review as well. Sounds okay, but I found Sim Tower a little boring myself.

    I loved the PC version. Im going to buy the GBA version, but im alittle worried how this game will play without a mouse.

    I LOVED Sim Tower. I still have it installed (it take all of about 10 MB )

    I was really interested in the GBA version, but I'm afraid that the little GBA screen resolution would make it too difficult to properly deal with your building. The towers in Sim Tower got huge (100 levels) and I couldn't imagine doing it on such a small screen. Also, what if your rooms get infested? How can you monitor elevator traffic?

    They SHOULD have made it a DS game. It's the perfect DS game, it started with a mouse, so the stylus would work great. They could use the upper screen to show a map of the entire building with colour coded progress displays, or use both screens to see more building.

    Hell with one rectangle on top of another, the DS screens are set up in a vertical manner - like a friggin tower!

    If this were a DS game I'd get it right away. As it is now, I'll try it before I buy it.
