It sounds like Will Wright wanted something like that too.

Have you ever played sim earth? I liked it a lot.

Never, actually. It always seemed too out there. Is it worth a look?

That and SimLife were pretty much scientifically based models of planets and biological systems. They were both quite difficult to play (you had to understand quite a lot) but very engaging. They definitely taught me a lot. But I don't know where you'd find them any longer.

When you don't know where else to look, eBay is a pretty good general purpose solution:
