"Theme hospital" is a legend of a game
"Roller Coaster Tycoon" has always been a personal fave

Transport Tycoon and Sim City are the ONLY ones you want.

original Theme Park, although it's hard to find to DL 
Civilization 1 and 2 (they get shit after that with the advent of 3d etc...)
Transport Tycoon, Sim City, Sim Tower (i strangely enjoyed) i also enjoyed Sim Farm some reason, probably because it was pretty easy

AOE were amazing, many hours spent on that
i never classed it as a "sim" game tho, rather a strategy

Red Alert 2 is THE best C&C game ever. Better than the new ones. I used to play Skirmish missions for hours at a time

You need a patch from some site on the internet as the original was a DOS version......Google will find it.

anti air guns go! they release the new CnC early 2007, cant wait
i had a habit of wanting my base to be amazing, so id spend all my money on defence at first, building walls etc too just to make it look wicked, proper fortress style

also used to play link up on PS2 with a mate, and had the tv's back to back to each other and play. We had a rule of no attacking for an hour just to give us time to make our base amazing and have a full fleet hahaha
