Transport Tycoon Deluxe was amazing, as a kid it took me so long to understand how the game worked (being from a non-English speaking country it was mostly trial and error) but once i understood i spent hours on it every day. I still remember the excitement of completing my first campaign, and getting the pop-up message in 2050 that I won the game, such a wonderful feeling.

There is an open source remake of it called OpenTTD available on steam, which is the same game with quality of life improvements, better graphics (as far as pixel style games go), and lots of customizability options that I still play to this day, it still is one of my favourite games of all time

OpenTTD is fantastic. But after playing Banished and ONI (among others) it is just too easy. There is no real challenge unfortunately...

I mean I personally prefer not too difficult of a challenge, as I don't have all that much time to play games. But another really cool thing I like about OpenTTD is the fact that you can choose what kind of AI opponents to play against, from a big pool of community created AI's, which can allow for really difficult challenges sometimes. Like if the AI builds fast, with all the different vehicles available and you don't allow yourself to buy them out, it can get really difficult, and you can make the game as fun as you want it to be
