That's really hard to answer objectively. Some of the artwork is nice, I guess? The mechanics are incredibly simplistic, but I still go back and play it every so often. I suspect that is more for nostalgia value than anything else.

It is annoying getting the message that "during fighting, your ship has been shelled and insurance won't cover the damage in a war zone" just after delivering a lovely shipment of weapons to the port of Basrah.

So technically, you could be in a CS class, playing CS and your friend next to you is also playing CS.

The English language is dumb.

Ports of Call on the Commodore 64. One of the first video games I ever played. Set up a shipping company, buy a ship, buy low and sell high and get better ships. Occasionally you have to take control of the ship (incredibly rudimentary, but it was 1986, give them a break) to dock or leave port, avoid a collision or avoid reefs, but for whatever reason I keep coming back to it.

Endless Space 2. The best OST I have ever come across in 20+ years of gaming. Several hundred hours in and I'm still not sick of any of the tracks.
