Sid Meier's Gettysburg isn't terrible, although it isn't that great either.
GalCiv2 is the closest rival to CIV, can be pretty fun
I think MOO series are TB but not sure.
MOO? Is that the game where you raise cows? I'll look into SMG and I might get GCII, but I doubt it.

Master of Orion I & II (III is apparently terrible and broken).
They are quite old but they should run fine
Pretty much anything from here will run for you:

5 days ago, I got three new games: Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex; Crash Twinsanity; and Crash: Mind Over Mutant. I also ordered Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, and Crash of the Titans.
I've beaten Wrath of Cortex(no way in Hell I'm collecting all the gems to view another ending, however) and Twinsanity over the course of those five days, and I think I might just call myself a Crash fan since I quite enjoyed it all. Add him to my list of furry characters to sodomise with fan art.
I refuse to play Mind Over Mutant until I get Crash of the Titans, so as to avoid skipping games(connection between games is a VERY strong quality of Crash, I've noticed, hence the hilarious frozen Uka Uka and Cortex in Twinsanity).
...that makes me a hypocrite however, as I played Wrath of Cortex before getting Warped(though I played it when I was much younger), and I also didn't want to get the first two games because that's too far back in time for me.

Are they worth it? I mean sure it's just 5 bucks for one of the apparently greatest games of all time, but are you gonna play it? Sometimes I buy old classics like that and I just end up not really playing it.
This week-end on gog.com, they had Creatures 3: Exodus on sale. It's an awesome simulator. Seriously I don't think there is AI or modelling as advanced as this in any game, even if this game is over 10 years old. You're basically on a space ship that is equipped with all kinds of ecosystems that you can grow various breeds of sickingly cute creatures called norns (there are other creatures too, but you mostly dabble with norns). There are machines like gene splicers, gadget replicators and whatnot. They are actually haploid creatures with a programmed genetic system and they pass stuff to each others, like behaviour and appearance and whatnot. There are over 200 chemicals programmed in the game (antigens, glucose levels, fatty acids, bacteria, toxins), you have medical scanners for the creatures to monitor what they're doing. You can teach them language. They teach each others stuff. They have emergent intelligence basically. With the exodus version of the game, you can send your creature in the containment area and ship them to other player online who put them in their own quarantine and decide what to do with them, if they like them they can use them to inject their genes in their own colony. It's awesome, except for the fact that, as I said, it's sickiingly cute and makes me question my masculinity.
Oh yeah, and all the gadgets on board have outputs and inputs and you can link them together with simple programmation. You can plug a creature detector to a gun and it will shoot when it detects the creature that you set the detector too. Or you can put a scent emitting device to attact monsters in the airlock... And put a monster detector there that is linked to the airlock's ON switch. So when the monster comes in. WOOOSH. Sent to the vaccuum. I used a graphing gadget to make a chemical detector, when a creature walks by I know its protein or starch needs and whatnot.
It's
Anyway, there isn't really a specific goal, and you can basically watch it run without interacting much. It's kind of a toy, but it was only 5$. It's just sad that there are basically no people left online to exchange creatures with.

Well not a new game for me but I finally got around to playing some of the games I bought on steam for sale back at christmas, namely Children of the nile and Deus Ex a little bit. CotN is really good, Deus Ex I'll have to get into.
Old game + cute factor are the hurdles to get over, but still... Here is the website of Creaturelab

You can actually download the "Docking Station" version there and try the game for free. Docking Station allows you to do a lot but lacks the original Creatures 3 space ship. Basically, Creatures 3 happens in a ship called Shee Ark. Docking Station is a free-add on that was released to permit multiplayer and a bunch of things, but it's also stand alone. So you have a lot less space and machinery to fiddle with, but at least it allows you to see what it is about.
If you're interested in buying, it's still available on gog, although not on special anymore.

I'm having too much fun with Resident Evil Remake. Though I am starting to get ticked off at the god damned zombie dogs!! They're not terrifying and scary; they are annoying as the Jockey from L4D, The molerats, bloatflies, & Talon Mercs from Fallout 3, and headcrabs from half-Life!

Are they as funny as the Jockey and headcrabs?
