That would be wonderful! There are a lot of different versions with all kinds of extensions. A cool thing about The Tower II (a later version of Yoot Tower only released in Japan) is the ability to plug in new content, using "Tower Kit"! So it should be possible to reverse engineer its plug-in system, and plug new stuff into it, or even create a plugin adaptor so you can easily create plugins in JavaScript / HTML / etc.
"Tower Kit" was released, but I haven't been able to find an archive of the executable, just some web pages about it:

The Tower II package comes with three maps: "Shinjuku Subcenter," "Hawaii Diamond Head," and "Kegon Falls," and the "Tower Kit" adds these maps. By installing this tower kit, a new stage game will begin. Tower kits don't just add more stages. Each map has new features, allowing you to play a completely new game.
>Please try the "Tower Kit" which allows for infinite variations.
>A love story between you, the person in charge of the Liberty Island redevelopment project, and two men and women who are your subordinates. Your work will have a subtle influence on the course of your love life. The Tower II is the first attempt at a crossover between redevelopment and love, set in New York. What is the ending...? [...]
