Moria  author1988The game of Moria is a single player dungeon simulation in the manner of Rogue, Hack, Larn, etc., but not descended from Rogue. A player may choose from a number of races and classes when creating their character, and then 'run' that character over a period of days, weeks, even months; attempting to win the game by defeating the Balrog, which lurks in the deepest levels.

The player will begin his/her adventure on the town level where he/she may acquire supplies, weapons, armor, and magical devices by bartering with various shop owners. After preparing for his/her adventure, the player can descend into the dungeons of Moria where fantastic adventures await his/her coming!

The Amiga Version (also known as "Amiga Moria") was released in 1988 and has been updated several times in the early 90's.

Global Effect Millennium1992What info I can find about this game makes me think it's remotely similar to SimEarth (managing a planet), but it's also compared to settlers and supposedly there's city building involved (though I couldn't locate any screenshots or info on that). labelimageminimize
Colonization  Microprose1995The Tradition of Civilization Continues

The New World lies before you with all its peril, promise and infinite possibility. Your colonists anxiously follow you to shore. The treasures of an entire continent await you.

Finally, the much-anticipated follow-up to Civilization is here! Sid Meier's Colonization takes you into the Colonial Era to discover, explore and colonize vast territories that promise both danger and reward.

Play one of four colonial powers as you set sail to discover the New World. Explore new lands and strategically plant your first colony. Direct its growth, manage its resources and establish lucrative trade routes. Balance economics, political and military strategy to create your own, powerful nation.

But beware of your enemies! Angry natives and rival powers can encroach upon your territory. You'll have to overcome your foes with superior military strategy and wily diplomacy. Only then can you launch your revolution and declare your independence.
