That's really hard to answer objectively. Some of the artwork is nice, I guess? The mechanics are incredibly simplistic, but I still go back and play it every so often. I suspect that is more for nostalgia value than anything else.

It is annoying getting the message that "during fighting, your ship has been shelled and insurance won't cover the damage in a war zone" just after delivering a lovely shipment of weapons to the port of Basrah.

So technically, you could be in a CS class, playing CS and your friend next to you is also playing CS.

The English language is dumb.

I do love how Hideo Kojima has NO IDEA how to keep a consistent tone.

"Okay, I am in a war-ravaged region of the world and I need to get in to a secure compound, extract someone who is being tortured for information and get out with the minimum of fuss. But first, my horse has to take a dump, and then I'm going to attach a balloon to this truck because I like it"

How about Lemmings?

Ports of Call on the Commodore 64. One of the first video games I ever played. Set up a shipping company, buy a ship, buy low and sell high and get better ships. Occasionally you have to take control of the ship (incredibly rudimentary, but it was 1986, give them a break) to dock or leave port, avoid a collision or avoid reefs, but for whatever reason I keep coming back to it.
