View submission: Modern versions of Amiga games

There are multiple sequels to The Settlers, Civilization and simcity.

Cities Skylines is probably the inheritor of the SimCity torch.

The original dev for The Settlers is making a spiritual sequel called Pioneers of Pagonia. City building is a big ol' genre, recent things like Timberborn are well loved.

If you liked Theme park then both the Planet Coaster games should scratch that itch

If you like Captive or Dungeon Master then there are many turn based, First person dungeon crawlers out there; Star Crawlers, underkeep, legend of grimrock to name a couple. Barony is more of an FPS but it might also scratch the Dungeon Master itch.

Powermonger is a pretty classic fantasy medieval RTS there are lots of those but maybe something like Warrior Kings.

I can't really think of anything modern that matches the Mega Lo Mania style though.

Edit:

For TMNT or double dragon style side scrolling beat em' ups, then Shreddrer's Revenge or Scott Pilgrim might fit the bill

If you liked Elite/Frontier then Elite: Dangerous is very good

X-Com/UFO Enemy Unknown has sequels in X-Com Enemy Unbnown (2012) and XCOM 2

Lords of Chaos got a sequel called Chaos Reborn

R-Type has multiple remakes and sequels

Worms has seen many sequels

If you liked Lotus/Out Run/Crazy Cars then 80s Overdrive is fun

Lunark is recent and very much based on Flashback. I would argue the Abe's oddysee is also derived from Flashback having the same controls and screen layout (though quite a lot more complex)

For Monkey Island/Kings Quest/Cruise for a corpse there are many sequels but also try; Inspector Waffles, The Crimson Diamond, Loco Motive, Gibbous, Slender Threads, Thimbleweed Park
