I played dozens of similar time-sinks, but none in particular that would
match your description 100%... the oldest resource-management games I
remember are:


The Settlers (1993, Amiga)

Populous (1989, Amiga)

M.U.L.E. (1983, C64)

Dome Dweller (1984, C64, source code printed in a book)

Not to mention Civilization and SimCity, probably the most popular and
long-lived games of this genre.

I think playing these games in moderation provides an important learning
opportunity.
