Added but not updated to work well on modern systems. Can't play one of my favorites games (red alert 2) because it just isn't built for it.

Like they could of invested some time to update it a bit so I can play games that's not 640-480.

There is OpenRA. An open source engine to get those classic C&C games running on modern machines but it only supports C&C, Red Alert 1 and Dune 2000.

They are working on the next engine with Tiberian Sun currently under development.

If you're interested in Dungeon Keeper, I highly recommend a similar project called KeeperFX. Play the game on modern systems, in higher resolutions, with game fixes as well.
