My 2 cents: don't try SimAnt - it's a good simulation but a bad game. SimEarth
is impressive, but has never given me much of a feeling of control over the
game. SimCity is the best of the Sim... series, just because it doesn't try
to do too much. Populous is another old favourite - real time but fairly slow,
a fair bit of room for strategy - you and the other player each play a god,
and try to make the world safe for your believers, and unsafe for infidels.

And do try civilisation - I've tried all of the "run a planet" games I could
find, and civilisation is the best so far. Unusually for a computer game, the
computer opponent is very competent - I get sick of games where the opponent
is an idiot, but wins by being fast, or by outnumbering you.
