Dwarf Fortress:
Started a new Fortress, I'm less than a year in. I have found no magma (dunno if I have any) and no gems. No real PRECIOUS metals, and no seemingly precious rock. (Though, I dunno what rocks are precious, off hand.)
In other words, my most valuable resource so far is GOPHERS. I have an economy based off of GOPHER. Figure that one out.

The Sims 3:
For as often as I play this, you'd think I'd be more than a 4th generation in, but that's the one that just started. I gave up on my other town, because I can't think of anything fun to do with it. I'm looking forward to the expansion, even though the vacation packs are supposedly not great.
Actually, I'll probably do what I did with my first family, and base them off of the eventual PFT champs.
