daggerfall-unity VS OpenTTD

The Steam version is the DOS version, yes. I'd recommend using Daggerfall Unity - it's a fan-made port to the Unity engine, and fixes a ton of bugs. You can download it here.

I like the blog, but I wish it were updated more often. Even little updates would be welcome.

Another interesting blog in a similar space is the Daggerfall Unity bloc over at https://www.dfworkshop.net/.

Also, if you want to get even more into the Elder Scrolls series and it's roots, Daggerfall is currently free on Bethesda's Website, and it has a full, modern engine rebuild in Unity, available for free here, but it's also available on Steam, not sure if they're charging for it there though, I downloaded it for free pre-assembled on Lutris, but that's because I use Kubuntu Linux as my OS :) Finally, here's an amazing Daggerfall Unity Modlist to get you started! Honestly, even the "full overhaul" doesn't change the game very much, I recommend using the total overhaul with all the difficulty and gameplay mods removed, or if you just want to get it up and running, just use the Vanilla+ list :)

As for trustworth, yes. It's been considered the best way to play for a long time. Here's the site: https://www.dfworkshop.net/

OpenTTD - Open source simulation game based upon Transport Tycoon Deluxe. C++, SDL2

#6 - OpenTTD - Transport Tycoon Deluxe... with multiplayer.... it has the most Win98 Interface, but once you get past that... this is the best and most amazing free sim tycoon game you will ever find.

OpenTTD is awesome and comes up quite often if you search for "free alternative" in this sub.

Probably not nearly as complex and a bit different, but: OpenTTD

When I was around that age, I was really into Final Fantasy and the Dragon Warrior series on the NES. I partially attribute them with developing my reading skills and vocabulary.

NES games might be a hard sell for a kid who's already been exposed to flashier games, but the SNES visuals hold up pretty well, and have some of the best RPGs: Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6, Secret of Mana, etc. There are also the Pixel Remaster versions of Final Fantasy 1-6 available on PC and modern consoles. Of course, the problem with RPGs is they're mostly about performing violence...

https://shapez.io/ - Shapez is sort of a Factorio-lite. You "mine" shapes, and perform operations on them to satisfy the game's requirements. It starts out pretty simple, but the difficulty ramps up. The demo is playable in the browser.

https://www.openttd.org/ - OpenTTD is essentially a virtual train set. Yes, there are other modes of transportation available, but the trains are where it shines. Might not really be suitable for a child to play solo, it's rather complex.
