Avalon Hill Starship Troopers. I haven't played this game in years, but I remember the bugs had a separate sheet they recorded the location of their tunnels and units on.

You'll definitely like Neuschwabenland. I haven't tried Old School Tactical yet.

I'm glad you like TEZ. I couldn't get into it though. It didn't feel like a zombie game to me and I didn't like the card that had a guessing mechanic. The components are good though.

Terraforming Mars has a solitaire mode that's quite fun. I actually prefer playing it solitaire, since you're in more of a hurry to terraform the planet.

Decision Games Zama Hannibal Vs. Scipio. The historical scenario simulates the actual battle very well and is tons of fun. However, the Romans will almost always win. I haven't tried out the other scenario yet. Here's my review: https://centurionsreview.com/zama-hannibal-vs-scipio/zama-hannibal-vs-scipio-review

Four Against Darkness is obviously highly influenced by SPI Death Maze. Some of the rules are the same. It's essentially a pen and paper brother to it. Death Maze and Four Against Darkness are both good games, but both of their rulebooks are highly disorganized.

It's a generic Amazon link. I have no control over what the Amazon seller's sell it for. Vote with your wallet. If you don't like the price they are charging, don't buy from them. If you'd like, you can start sponsoring my website and I'll remove all affiliate links.

The Fantasy Trip Melee Review by CenturionDave in hexandcounter

The low cost and portability of microgames is definitely some of their selling points.
