Don't forget the sheep version: Extreme sheep herding. - YouTube[^] (approx middle of the video - but it is all worth waching, even if the technical quality is mediocre).
Awesome video

Also, if you do find some good ones... choose ones you can get the source code to. Playing is one thing. Seeing the juju that makes it work is a whole 'nother level.

Tip: to play Railroad Tycoon online you have to press the num-lock key to lay track, don't build iron girder bridges as this will crash the game.

You will probably need some C++ too to get games to run at an acceptable speed :-\

There are some cool open source games out there like this city builder one. Probably not beginner friendly though, but could be enough to spark curiosity. Or if you really want to go old school, there are DOS games like Nibbles. The QBasic source has been floating around the Interwebs for a while now.

This is another site I have used from time to time. BrowserGames[^] It is in german, but I think you might get a good enough translation to know about what a game is using your favourite online translator. Titles I liked as a kid: Rainbow island, double bobble, snow brothers, bobble shooter, ...
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

In my teens I started with some text-based adventures. Concepts such as parsing and mapping, adapting text output to include random (but sensible) variations etc. An early graphic one I started on was an air-traffic control simulator. Never finished it but found one a few years ago in Javascript. It was buggy and lacked some usability so I extended it. Air traffic control 'simulator'[^]
