I got the images from Hall of Light Amiga Database, but for some of those games you need to be registered in their forum to view the screenshots.

But Lemon Amiga also has some screenshots:

Or just search on both sites for Poker for more of those games. But I noticed that the image quality is quite weird for some of these games. It looks like they digitized some VHS tapes somehow, judging by the artifacts. Either this or these are artifacts from the quirks of the HAM6 (or HAM8 for the AGA Amiga) mode, since beside the many colors you could use for these modes, there were some limits. And who knows what software they were using for those graphics. Nowadays it's kinda easy to (batch-) convert an indefinite number of true color images (with the targeted chip ram size and/or resolution as the only absolute limit) to either HAM6 for the old Amigas or to HAM8 by just using the NetPBM package or more specific the ppmtoilbm tool (in tandem with some graphic tools like ImageMagick):

There are plenty of german ones. Games like Patrician, 1869, Hanse, Kaiser, Transworld, Black Gold, Winzer (vintner), Inve$t, Oil Imperium, Steigenberger Hotelmanager, Zeppelin: Giants of the Sky, etc. There are Sims/Business sims for all kinds of obvious and not so obvious businesses (Hint: there also was banned KZ Manager around https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KZ_Manager ).
Or other games like Spacward Ho!, Detroit.
Back then the market was overflowing with all kinds of economic simulators. Even ones dealing with the unification of germany or the aftermath of it (Aufschwung Ost/Boom east).

But I guess my favorite is Mad TV (I hardly played the sequel Mad News).

I never got far with those and usually was bored quickly. Maybe the game of that genre that I played the most was "Biing!: Sex, Intrigue and Scalpels" an adult (business centered) hospital simulation, which I played on my Amiga 1200 (fucking 19 Disks(!) with a mandatory HDD install of course).

And the intro of the game was hilarious:
