#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.
#4 - Free Civ - Its Civilization 1 and 2, a free clone. You can download the game here; OR play via the online web version... which is my favorite... has a great 2.5 iso view that adds depth.. or join a mega game where 300 or so human players play one turn per day.
#1 - NAEV/Naikari: Eye of Chaos - Naikari is a fork of NAEV, and both have received recent updates. Both inspired by a classic Space trading/piracy/fighting game called Escape Velocity. NAEV- Full open space, fun combat mechanics. Has diverged quite heavily from EV. SUPER low spec, will run on almost anything in the last 25 years, and runs great on a Rasp Pi 3 or newer. Naikari: Eye of Chaos is focusing more on the story elements! Very well done thus far and they have only started.

#2 - Endless Sky - ALSO inspired by Escape Velocity, but IMO this is more polished Escape Velocity clone and could reasonably be called the modern successor. EXCELLENT space trade/piracy/combat and definitely take some good strategy to get far into the game.
