Tower Power Mac OS

Follow the instructions below for Mac OS X Version 10.4, nicknamed 'Tiger'. Steps for activating sleep settings in other versions of OS X will be very similar.

Become a Mac OS X power user the easy way. Mac OS X contains many shortcuts, special keyboard combinations you can exercise to make things happen, but unless you make the effort to learn them. With the launch of Mac OS Big Sur, most Developers, Users, and Customers are looking towards upgrading their Intel-based machines to the latest However, you may be curious to know how the temperatures, fan control ad power consumption may or may not have changed based on installing new software on now older hardware. (The company renamed the tower the Mac Pro when it switched to Intel processors.) At one point during the Power Macintosh G5’s run, Apple used a liquid-cooling system for its CPUs. The first-generation Power Macs are still too slow to use Mac OS 9.1, despite 9.1's improvements over 9.0.4. Stick with Mac OS 8.1 unless you really need the features of 8.5, and if you do, get 8.6, because it's faster and more stable than 8.5.x was.

  1. Click on the apple symbol (Apple Menu) in the upper left of your screen.
  2. Go to 'System Preferences'
  3. Click 'Show All' (if necessary)
  4. Select 'Energy Saver' from the 'Hardware' row
  5. Set 'Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive for' to 30 minutes using the slider
  6. Set 'Put the Display to Sleep when the computer is inactive for' to 5 minutes using the slider

EPA recommends setting computers to enter system standby or hibernate after 15 to 60 minutes of inactivity. To save even more, set monitors (displays) to enter sleep mode after 5 to 20 minutes of inactivity. The lower the setting, the more energy you save. The 'Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible' setting does not save much power, and can be ignored.

Sim Tower is now available for Mac! It is time to play this nostalgic game again on your Mac. I used the free abandonware version from Abandonia.com in this Wrapper and works quite nice. The game is windowed and can be slightly adjusted in size stretching the window using the corners of the window. Hope you guys like it! Have fun, its free!

Bugs and tips (Thanks Michael Stenlund):
1. To save a game you need to overwrite one of the 3 save games (save1, save2 or save3) I put into the save folder.
2. The windows: Info Bar and Map Window can not be dragged and moved around.
3. Changing costs involves using arrow keys instead of mouse. For the player to be able to change a cost, for example, the cost to rent a hotel room, they need to click the cost and use the arrow keys before the cost will be saved by clicking OK. As the memory use intensifies for this program, after several hours of gameplay it has been noted that the using the arrow keys is not enough. The next solution is to use the arrow keys, click OK, and repeat that step up to 5x to save the new price. A quick cmd+tab to Mac OS X and tab back to Wine solves the issue instantly.
4. No full screen

SimTower allows the player to build and manage the operations of a modern, multi-use skyscraper. They must plan where to place facilities in the tower that include restaurants, condominiums, offices, and elevators. To prevent tenants from vacating their properties, the player must keep their stress low by fulfilling their demands for medical centers, parking lots, recycling facilities, clean hotel rooms with the help of housekeepers, and an efficient transportation system, which involves managing elevator traffic. SimTower, which was built around an elevator simulation program, places a strong emphasis on good elevator management.

You can find the game in the Porting Kit up here…
