SimCity won't let you make pre-industrial cities.  Really, mostly
post-industrial yuppie ones, but it's still fun.

Basically, you start with terrain such as rivers, lakes, woods, hills,
and so on.  You are a sort of all powerful city planner on a
budget.  You decide to clear some land and zone it residential, and then
the simulation starts creating citizens who build houses and move in.
You clear some more land and zone it industrial and they will build
factories there (if it has power).  You build roads connecting the
industrial and residential zones, and the citizenry start commuting to
work, and might eventually complain about the traffic and move away.
Oops!  You lose.  Maybe build light rail next time.

It requires 1MB.
