 SimIsle for Windows 95 box cover

My most favorite "Sim" game of all time aside from SimCity 2000, SimIsle is a fun and challenging tropical island simulation. You must manage the difficult balance between economic success and ecological harmony. For instance, cutting too many trees to make building materials (wood) and you risk forest fires. Add the neat RPG-style personnel management, and the game is quite addictive in the long haul, despite a steep learning curve that may prove too daunting to beginners, and some cumbersome interface designs. Two thumbs up!

Note: the download here is the rare Windows 95 version, which features a much faster game engine and interface than the clunky DOS version.
