Railking was one of the first games that involved railways simulation, but since it was times of 8-bit computers the scale was of course rather small - only 10 cities across United States and few cargos to haul.

Indianapolis 500 was one of the first games that used the Doppler effect to emulate car engine noise when they pass you by. I guess they could as well simulate the noises of the cars that you were passing by, but I wouldnt know anything about it - it was hard enough to stay on the track, not to mention overtaking the cars.")

Brigade Commander was 1991 strategy game for Amiga computers, one of the first that was actually real-time strategy (RTS), which meant that while you are planning, giving orders, etc. those of your units that already have orders will execute them. But contrary to f.e. Command & Conquer in Brigade Commander the whole battlefield was covered with hexes, graphics were simple (even for 1991) which put off a lot of strategy buffs from looking into details of that game, which was a huge mistake.
