Gameplay
Yoot Tower is an upgrade over the earlier Sim Tower (The Tower).
In Japan, The Tower II received numerous patches and add-ons which were never brought to the West and most do not function correctly with the Western game. This meant only three scenarios ever existed for Yoot Tower, despite the Macintosh box and manual suggesting more "TowerKits" would be available in the future.
While the PC version's CD is labeled "disc 1", there is no "disc 2". In Japan, several content discs were included in the package.
