Lately I've been replaying the campaign in Railroad Tycoon 2 (available for a just few bucks on GOG) and I've had just as much enjoyment as playing a full priced modern title. Granted it's got pretty timeless 2d(ish) graphics and a studio recorded bluegrass soundtrack at a time when most games just opted for midi soundtracks. It's even got a complete stock market simulation where every action you take affects your company's stock value, and you as an individual can manipulate the market to benefit your company and vice versa. I've had particular enjoyment by personally selling a bunch of stocks to artificially depress the value of another company right before attempting a merger. That and trying to survive margin calls without being forced to sell my 90% stake in every single railroad company that inevitably tanks the value of every single railroad in the game

Pretty dang good for a nearly 30 year old game!
