If I could get any of them to consistently work on these newfangled computing systems we have nowadays, I'd still be playing Command & Conquer, C&C Red Alert, and Alpha Centauri.

Alpha Centauri works fine on my Windows 7 system. I wish the old DOS game "Conquest of the New World" would work on it... that was an awesome game, with the best combat resolution mini-game that I've ever seen in a 4x computer game.

I can't believe I'm the only one still playing Master of Magic :'(
Even without the nostalgia googles, it's still an extremely fun and addicting game, which has aged VERY well, despite his horrible resolution (320x200). I'm looking at pixels nearly the size of my nail, but the cute design make it very bearable.
This game has still a richness of features that has yet to be equalled. Sure, it's not balanced at all, but the amount of options you have more than make it up for it. Still the only one contender in its category, and yet to be equalled in its vastness of what is given to the player. Sad to see that dozens-strong team can't manage to reproduce the work of a small team nearly twenty years ago...

I haven't tried installing AC on my current Windows 7 computer, but that's mainly because it has refused to install on every computer I've ever owned that wasn't the first one I installed it on. I don't have high hopes.
You can get it on gog.com. It works on my Windows 7 machine. I think it uses DosBox but I'm not even sure.
As for Alpha Centauri, I got it to work on every machine ever. There is usually an error message that everybody gets when trying to boot it. But there's an easy universal cure to this. It's easy to find online if you google the error message.
I regularly play Advance Wars DS.
I would say an older game, but they're all on my backlog. I wasn't a PC gamer until BFME came out (and I played that for as much as a year before getting Rome TW), so I missed out on a lot of them.

I played Age of Empires the Rise of Rome in the summer which is like..1998? Right now I'm playing Warcraft 3 which is from 2002! Strategy games have the best value for money you can keep going back to them and enjoy it unlike an FPS (IMO) - graphics for these games is iirelevent.
