Master of Orion I loved I and II. The third apparently bombed and reboots have failed.

Sim City I mean the real Sim city as Maxis would have made it. Not a cash grab, not a mobile game, not a “city painter” where any simulation takes a back seat to decorating with DLC assets.

Super Mario RPG no those other, spiritual successors do not count. They are fine games on their own but not the same.

Lost in Blue not the fanciest games, but I enjoyed them. There are plenty of modern games in the genre, but I haven’t found one that quite fits…
