le persone che hanno fatto questo CAPOLAVORO (per gli stumenti e le tecnologie di quel tempo, ovvero: 1992) hanno davvero tutta la mia stima. Venderei l'anima al diavolo per essere bravo quanto tutti loro messi assieme.
Loved this game since 94 when i was 13 years old and already been introduced to Dune thanks to reading the books. 1 & 2 are great games, they should do remastered remakes.
I played this w/o a sound card. I had to go to my friend's house to play it with sound, and it blew me away.
@uraniumdeath: I totally agree with you. This game laid the foundation for Command and Conquer, which then spawned Warcraft and Starcraft, which then spawned WoW. This game is important to gaming, much like Wolf and Doom were to the FPS genre.
It's also worth mentioning that warcraft and starcraft were both HEAVILY influenced by the warhammer and 40k series. So it's fair to say that it's as responsible for that lineage as well. Dune set the RTS standard, but the lore and creative are far from similar.
@ArMANRazoR Not really, the first Dune game (which was more of an point and click adventure game than a strategy game, even though some strategy stuff existed in it) wasn't similar at all. If I remember correctly, that intro had you flying over the landscape of Dune with credits. Then there was the later CD-ROM release of that game which used the narration from the Lynch movie, which had some resemblance to the Dune 2 intro, but not much.
Damn, after all these years, I still remember the intro text by heart and still get shivers when the storytellers goes on about describing the houses... "The Noble Atreides..."... ahh the memories of wasted childhood =D
Oh man, I loved this game! they should make a remake from Dune 2 (but still same gameplay and graphics, just bit better, windows-comform and still 2D, not everything turnable etc). Also from Games like Crusader No Remorse or Syndicate. That was awesome! Dune 2 was fantastic, one of the first strategy game. Perfect!!
Well 'comanche', find an ORIGINAL game at the time that was better.
13 year olds do NOT understand the buzz that games like this provided, just like I will never understand the buzz from black and white TV that my parents had.
You take your PS3s and Nintendo Poos for granted, and don't realise that the reason why you have so many games now is because you had pioneering games like Dune II.
I've been playing Dune II since release, and none of that has ever bothered me. It's the way it was.
@DarthRushy Fair call. I made a generalisation based on the fact that I heart so many young kids call this game 'crap' because 'it looks crap'...the majority of them being spoilt little turds whose parents buy them everything and don't appreciate it...
But I can see you're a real Dune fan...great to see.
I miss this game...

I never liked C&C. Could never get into it. But Dune 2 was fun.
But the real RTS enjoyment came with Warcraft 2 and Starcraft.
Stil play starcraft to this day.Waitng like 10 years over due for the next one FFS.

Warcraft: Orcs and Humans was released a full year before Command & Conquer. Just wanted to set that fact straight, but otherwise you are correct.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here. It is really unintelligible gibberish.
I don't care if you have an Xbox360. That doesn't change a thing.

@uraniumdeath Dune fan? Sure, cos I'm trying to get all Dune material I can find.
I also think that Brian and Kevin made a big error in Sandworms of Dune.
Anyway, I hope I'll find the Dune board game one day along with a version of Dune 2000 that has cutscenes.
