Ween the Prophecy, love that one, I should still have the original box and floppies somewhere
Not much into fotball myself.
It came from the desert, haven't played this one yet, after so many decades lol, definitely worth a try.
The Sim series are quite good, although I've never get into Sim Earth for example.
I've also found Genesia (or Ultimate Domain) quite interesting, tho after few turns things tend to overcomplicate themselves, and there's a lot of micromanagement, but overall I'd say it's a good choice.
