I LOVED all the city building games made by Sierra, i played them for hours on end.

Kind of like any game that used the Konfuze, Elysium Blue engine, or Greentail engine. These simple RPG game development engines use sprikes and tiles to create the items and environment as more like a hobby kit with a few mods added to them. So, they probably seem to be the same game due to the fact they use the same source engine.
