Probably Markstrat (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markstrat).

My 1999 MBA class played it. I had no idea it was so widespread, since the author was one of the professors at my business school.

From the Wikipedia article, it was originally developed in 1974-77. Which makes it nearly 50 years old.

I'd be interested if anyone was aware of an open source equivalent to Markstrat.

I also played it in college, and eventually want to play against my kids when they reach high school.
