I think gog's version of apoc works on modern machines.

I did play Kenshi. The same madness exists with the obsession to create a simulation. I would also say that Dwarf Fortress shares this madness. These are all games created by people with a like-mind for interconnected systems that produce emergent results. I would say Kenshi creates the least emergent results though, it's quite wide but lacking the depth of overlapping and interacting systems. It's fun in a different kind of way though. What Kenshi really needs is overlapping systems like DF has to truly make decisions and actions in the world by the AI have a wide variety of insane outcomes.
