Dwarf Fortress
Be forewarned: this game takes time and dedication to appreciate. However, if you take that time, you will find in Dwarf Fortress one of the most amazing and complex simulation games that you will ever play. Combining aspects of roguelike, strategy, and "god" games, Dwarf Fortress has two modes of play: Fortress, where you oversee a dwarven civilization, and Adventure Mode, which plays like a typical roguelike game. To date I find Dwarf Fortress to be one of the most amazing games ever made, including all commercial offerings, but like I said: be warned that the game is not easily accessible! For help, look to the wiki. Also, try out Mike Mayday's Graphics Edition of the game.

Not a game for those who appreciate graphics

Great game, takes a lot of getting used to, very complex, but is hugely customizable, and the Wiki has a detailed description on how to jump-start a great fortress. The Windows version has graphics packs if you can't get the hang of the ASCII graphics.
Remember, it's fun to lose!
