1. SimPark - I tried to download this on abandonware site... but i can't run it since it needs the disc... and i don't know where to find help (i tried saving the files on a dvd disc, but says it can't find the disc in the drive) so i failed in trying to figure it out, and i have no other ideas

2. SimIsle almost the same problem as SimPark

3. SimTower

i couldn't find where to vote for these (i use to know but haven't done iit since i last posted about these a year or two ago)

SimPark and SimIsle are higher on my list since i think SimTower might have issues though i could be wrong

Vote for them, then:

https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/simpark

https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/simisle_missions_in_the_rainforest

https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/simtower_the_vertical_empire

...Just don't expect much. EA haven't released much here in years. Also, some of the single-game wishes only have votes numbering in the double digits, which also doesn't bode well for them showing up here, unless EA offers them to GOG on a silver platter. : )

If you guys want, I could post all the abandonware, freeware, and DOS game sites I know of.

if you know how or know where i can find the info... i have the SimPark, and SimIsle on two separate disc (i saved them on two different blank discs)

The discs don't seem to register it and says something like: "Make sure the disc is in the drive" (i have the files on the disc but doesn't seem to allow the disc to continue...

I did ask on origin to see if they might release the other SimGames onto their game platform... i'll check on that today... after this.

i guess i could try one other option is to ask someone at the abandomware site about it... i'll try that today as well (just came into my head)

It sounds like the discs have had it. I wouldn’t feel to bad about downloading from certain sites as you do own the game. CDs just aren’t as long lasting as they were intended to be, I was just watching twin peaks gold box set I have, and episode two is unplayable due to the disc. Thankfully some years (decades) back I took a disc image of all my disc based games, and I have several backups of them and the nocd’s. Of course, some I rebought here as well.

Agreed. On the SimTower front, try Project Highrise on GOG.

Good choices. Make sure you vote for them on the wishlist - https://www.gog.com/wishlist. You might also try contacting EA or post on the Origin forums encouraging them to work with GOG to re-release these.

For the first two you might be able to run them through virtual cd mounting software. archive.org has a lot of good games that for some reason aren't sold, but the company still won't make free to the public.

If a game contains a copy protection, archive.org doesn't provide a way to circumvent it.

Mounting a virtual has helped me bypass copy protection before.

Edit: virtual disc

Yeah I think SimTower has issues, but I thought I read somewhere that it was also released under "The Tower" and "Yoot Tower".
