OpenTTD was a godsend when I only had a 15 year old laptop and was visiting family with bad internet. Also if anyone doesn't know OpenRCT2 also exists now and works great too.

Same here. It runs on a potato and is a prime example of gameplay over eye candy for me.

It's pretty cool that some of the community for this game ended up on the dev team for Factorio, another graphically lacking but deeply wonderful game.

If you liked Factorio but wanted something with a little more eye candy, check out Dyson Sphere Program. It doesn't have as much depth as Factorio, but it'll still scratch that factory-building itch. It also came into early access only a couple months ago, and the devs are actively improving it.

Not true anymore with HD graphics finalized.

What I meant was it's not a Cyberpunk eye candy, but lacking in general substance type of game. It's a fairly basic top down 2d game still.

The new parkitect is really close to RCT2 and has multiplayer. IMHO it's a great alternative.
