[LeopardFixJeopardy]

EA games we come for you!!!



[piraat6666]

EA killed Westwood

[AlexRaduGorcea]

Why aren't you using hotkeys?!

[bernatk]

Oh Dune... you anti-productivity, life destroyer game you...

A dude rewrote it: opendune.org

[frontliner2]

@bernatk you better google for: Dune 2: The Golden Path. Best remake there is :)

[crypteye]

*wast armies have arrived...* BADASS GAME

[TheCyberios]

I saw this a while back and I was wondering where I saw it before. It looked cool and I wanted to play it and was looking for a demo or something and then I saw a picture of the cover of the box. Then i realised I actually have this on floppy disk with the original box! Unfortunately, my current PC doesn't have a floppy disk drive and I can't play it.

[RubertaLang]

Absolutely epic into. I still get shivers from that, watched it about 1000 times and played it forever as a kid.

[RebelAdmiral]

Remember this game, you had to select your troops ONE BY ONE, no group selection.

Good ol' times.

[knightmaher1]

ME WANT WESTWOOD BACK

[abolitionoflife]

this was fucking revolution!

[MrSPINNER1988]

Awesome game!

[mmsnyman]

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the inventor of DRAG SELECT

---applause---

[Farafonov]

the music is great

[SilentHill201]

The best RTS ive ever played. 

[scratcharmstrong]

amazing game. this made me love all other rts titles <3

[FINALDEST1]

The last level was always the best, used to take hours to complete. Great times.

Anyone remember the DRM. old red code sheet where you had to enter the code at the begining of level 2.

[ChathamFr0]

Yeah this game brings back some good memories. 94'-95' go! :)

[SamusDrake]

I am a huge nut on DUNE 2000, but this was a delightful game for its time. Only thing that pissed me off is that the Death Hand is far too powerful in the later levels, making gameplay a real misery.

My brother preferred C&C, but I love the Dune universe and it worked a charm in this game.

[zorbakpants2]

ah nostalgia, i used to watch Dad play this, and own at it

[JesusMcChristus]

Good god, this game seemed so damn hard when I first played it... then again, I was 8 years old back then :D

I remember that I had to destroy the last few buildings with my fremen troopers from the palace because all the resources on the map were depleted

15 years later I played it again and it was a piece of cake - just steamrolled everything with sonic tanks ^^

[JilutheFang]

SO THIS is where Spore got the whole Spice-from-Planets idea! =D

[Slektet]

Harkonen <3

[rkb53]

The only thing i didnt enjoy in this game was the way they kept calling the planet doon instead of dune.

[TheDutchGame]

Westwood > EA

[Grovajl]

Haha you let them destroy your buildings and you did not aim at the unit production factories first. Radar is not so important >.>

[golob13]

much much better than Dune 2000

[bruduarte25]

man i loved this

[mrbigmouth502]

This looks delightfully oldschool. I must play it.

[oliverecords]

I used to play this game but I didn't have any voice in it, only text people :)

Each time I see this I laugh about te fact that it was maybe the originator of Warcraft - like games, which I always failed to appreciate.

[dnisko]

He who controls the spice, controls the universe ! P.S. what a soundtrack... masterpeace...

[looqmann1]

im feel just like going to vommit

[termanedieter11]

god i'm old

[soupalex]

Thanks Frank Klepacki for making some great music for this great game!

[Luzagal]

Hard as fuck and shitty controls. But great game

[odicrot]

lastima que murieras Weestwood

como te extraño

[Weila777]

Best - Forever and ever, and ever

[allart777]

Every time the music starts when the game introduces the 3 houses I get goosebumps all over... This is and always has been one of my favorite games of all time... The hours I spend on it are insane but all worth it

[allart777]

[joelpaid]

I wanna play this again =)

[shitchops]

fuck yeah this game PWND HARDCORE i thrashed it when i was 9

[Druscaelan]

And the evil HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!rkonen.

[Funkylordwedge]

No wonder everyone was at war when the system is being lead by an Emperor like that. After giving that speech he played with some toys, had his diaper changed from the soup he was spoon fed and had a nappy.

[LapinPete]

This beats the newest C&c.

[LapinPete]

@LapinPete Not to mention this has best rocket launcher of all time.

[rubo111]

Damn it, the construction yard first!

[marafetigr]

one of the first games that had special effects and actual voices for PC. Also this game is the father of all today strategy games. I remember when I first saw the intro and I was stunned.

[ohsnap1981]

The woman who did the narration is still the best voice actor I've ever heard in a game.

"The noble Atreides" rings with determination, and you can actually hear the evil dripping off "The evil Harkonnen"

Still, could just be that I've got nostalgia in my eyes ^__^

[csselement]

I just had major flashbacks from my youth.

[thesdicgamer]

I miss the old westwood.. :,(

[mohanadph]

1st time I played it ,was on my Dad's PC (133 Mhz Pr ,16 Mb RAM ,1 Mb GPU & 1.5 Gb HDD)

Play it in Win95 with MS-Dos Support!!!

Its music is Unforgettable ! Thanx Dude >>> U R using Dos-Box???

[gochu666]

i love ti

[virtuzass]

I play this game on sega. best ever :)

[pfootball43]

Straight up mother fucking 90's shit right here! Fucking miss those days!

[mebossyounothing]

BEST RTS EV3R !!!!

[killerpups17]

wasnt this the first strategy game ever?

[olias32]

first true strategy game. no other game invented anything after this, only minor tweaks and different stories.

[SvitjodsWarrior]

Hey, Join the "We want a new Dune" group on FB!

[caprianders]

Thumbs up if you're playing this game in 2011. I am.

[versusg1]

@caprianders of course =)

[TheCJFace]

This is so epic, playing this game was so entertaining

[Grasslander]

Harkonnen! Space Finns!

[dacloo]

lol the voice is so bad, you hear the wind blowing in the microphone and the girl seem to be grabbed randomly from the streets

[TheJamesbond213]

Thumbs up if this game is crap

[superpopewinz]

@TheJamesbond213 casual faggot

[TheJamesDM]

Thumbs up if TheJamesbond213 is a faggot.

[onarass]

@TheJamesDM He's another 12-16 year old FPS fag, best to ignore him.

[0Darkanubis0]

Good Gods, the intro voice over haunts my memories....It's AWEFUL, but the game was fracking brilliant.

[dune2online]

@0Darkanubis0 If you want we can play too :D

[TheCJFace]

Boy does this bring back memories

[jessemaurais]

This game was 10 years old when I started playing it, but I still played the shit out of it.

[mashling1999]

this is the lollest DUNE i ever seen !!!!!! try DUNE 2000, better grafic, better sound and better menu! and u dont need to press attack when u will attack

! dune 2 is so retro

[TheJamesDM]

@mashling1999 You are the lollest person I´ve ever seen.

This "lollest" Dune is a classic. And no remake can be better than classic itself.

[TheFinlandnator]

Music in games like this is one of the reasons why I began to like electronic as a kid. Awesome.

[r3dfella]

this game was awesome. I remember going to my best friend's house and playing this masterpiece for hours. Then I got myself a copy at sam's club and never left my room for the entire summer of 93' (I think it was). Wow, good times indeed.

It probably sounds odd, but I feel really grateful to have been able to experience the shear greatness of dune 2, and other games like it, during that time and place and I think its just amazing that I had the privelage to be a gamer when games mattered.

[Frostman182]

@r3dfella I too spent nearly an entire summer inside playing this game. I loved it! This was many many years ago LOL

[owenotley]

@r3dfella your life story was mildly interesting till you started dribbling at the end

[SAFORecruitment01]

I played this on my grandfather's Pentium 166 back on 2002.

[80sspirit4ever]

@SAFORecruitment01 haha good times, I used to visit my uncle only to play this game xP

[mutehero7]

NAO ao ao ao ao

[hargilad]

Nerd chills up and down my spine, best game ever!!!

[ManfredW]

dune out soon D: nice finally a good game gonna be sold

[waggabiggadoo]

zomg one of the best games ever made!

[RiDDL3m3THat]

The lady's voice is annoying, she speaks low in one part of the sentence and then raises her voice on the end of it.

[Fastbikkel]

It was great, but very labor intensive.

[KOmaSHOOTER]

sexy female voice!

[wolfsich]

eines der besten Strategiespiele aller Zeiten

[DarkRezo]

this can't be the PC version i had. it rly sux tbh.

The music was way better as i remember and the voice of Sardukar Princess was much much smoother and a joy to listen to. Guess it was SB 16' i remember,

gonna find the right link.

[Outboundz]

@DarkRezo this is the first one there was a sequal in called dune 2000

[Bredadarts]

we need a hd reamke for pc and psn, and i would like that game on the ngp too. Best rts ever.

[JackiePaquito]

Awesome game!!!

[caprianders]

Laaand of saaaand.

[razvyIV96]

I remember playing this game a hundred years ago,when I was a kid,not knowing a thing about it,but still loving it because of the atmosphere,the planet the entire game,I don't know.

[BragaJst]

My father taught me how to play Dune, this game is definitely part of my childhood

[VideoReply]

I hate how she says DOON instead of DUNE

[sourcemaster]

@VideoReply accent thing i guess?

[VideoReply]

@sourcemaster because of the american influence on youtube - I'll go to work and say "YOUTOOB" instead of "YOUTUBE" and my mates are like WTF do you think you're doing? LOL

[TheWarcalf]

For how long ago this game was made the graphics and sounds are crazy good.

[lordpatrice]

@TheWarcalf 1992 One of the first Pc Game I ever played, the first one was Ultima Underworld : The Stygian Abyss

[shimmisking]

What the fuck is ''Doon''?

[700gsteak]

Atreides out! Reporting!!!

[kennmanntis]

hahahhahahaahahahahahahahaahah­ah.

cool stuff.

[Whesto]

Best game ever, FOR THE DUKE!

[THeCoDer135]

I am 18 right now, the first time i played this game was when i was 3...and the last time i played it was when i was 15...and i have to say, this was the most amazing game i have ever played...ever!

[Mazryonh]

Westwood Studios is dead! LONG LIVE WESTWOOD!

[metalboy22]

can anyone please help me with getting the money editing thing to work?

I have almost crushed the atreidis on a mission I start with 1800 credits. I am the harkonnen btw.

I have 0 money and 1 harvester. no tanks and no freakin spice. :(

I need help fast! xD

[55Chimeras]

This game was and still is a legend.. back in the early 90's this was one of the greatest strategy games you could own :)

Great post man!

[snakefactory]

Seriously, the memories flood back during that intro. Caught pneumonia around when this was released and I played it a lot while I was recovering.

[aussiebluemax]

looks like this game made by a bunch of teenage losers on a budget of 50 bucks

[gavinthegamerfreak]

@aussiebluemax Made in 1992 dumbass...

[euro2019]

@aussiebluemax This game came out in 1992 on DOS dude.

[fruterro88]

nice video, thanks for the memories rly, this was prolly the first PC game i have truly played, and a lot. THE BEST

[LuisManuelLealDias]

siege tanks on level 2? awesome roflmao

[anton2maa]

good memories...

[JefferyJeffJeferson]

Got Spice?

[AudioAndroid]

Please let Blizzard have the rights to remake this game :D

[LgndryThndr]

@AudioAndroid

Blizzard would fuck it up, just like they did StarCraft 2.

LOL THE ZERG A FREE.

[krapstalaz]

good old times, when i was playing Dune on Sega. Actualy i have Sega about 10 years and it still working and sometimes i'm remembering old times and playing sega games for hours. God i like this console xD

[tordenskrald]

each freakin sound fx in the intro gives me goose-bumps, that's insane

[headrockbeats]

LOL I completely forgot how terrible the voice acting on the intro was. When I first got the game it was the version with text instead of voice (or was that just because my sound-blaster sucked? :D ). I remember the words by heart though. :)

[kk45727remake]

I still can't get use to the intro.

[rbk17]

It's PC version? On Amiga graphics is better but the aren't any speeches in intro.

[madant1977]

One of the best games ever! Spent hours and hours in front of my 386 ;-)

[secon]

god i used to play this game to death. sonic tank and star ports ftw!

[MegaRadutzu]

Love this game was the first computer game i ever played:X

[timothygreenslade]

i remember playing this when i was 10 gd times gd times

[RottNBrain]

why is she talking like shes on acid or maybe im on acid?

[foxgloves321]

Worst voice acting ever. It's like they couldn't find a normal person to read the captions, so they dragged some methhead out of a crackhouse

[Johnlindsey289]

I remembered playing this when i was 12 in 1994 on computer and it hit the spot, i've been a Dune fan since 93 when i read the books. Dune 1 & 2 are the best computer games ever for me.

[guily6669]

@Johnlindsey289 4 me it's the command and conquer in like 95 or something like that, what that shit came out, i cummed all over the room :P

[Azunaii]

@guily6669 1992. I recently installed it on my laptop, and 18 years after its release I'm still loving it to bits lol. Although the controls are cumbersome heheh. I'm 22 now, I have grown up with this game. First played it when I was 5 or 6 or so I guess. I remember never getting past lvl 3 cause I shat myself whenever the sandworms came xD

[guily6669]

@Azunaii Yeah man, I'm 20 now, and i also remember playing it in the pentium 1 that my father had, it had ms-dos and to go to windows (95) we needed to type a command which i can't even remember anymore :P

But command and conquer was the one 4 me, i finished already every god damn C&C, but i hate the newer ones, like red alert 3 and tiberium wars, they suck.... The best is RED ALERT 2, i have finished it like 6 times...

[dwufenylometano]

Who want play on hamachi dune 2 gold version for online only msg me

[Migueria]

did u see the 2 copters doing a W in the sand when they are shooting at you? W stands for WESTWOOD... the company that did strategy PROPERLY!

[Vyylandra]

The big problem with this game is that you cant select more than one unit at a time. When you have an army of dozens of units...issuing orders will be a huge pain in the ass

[Rolmarsden]

Construction complete... :D

[bertjuhnl]

This game is still awesome! The forever clicking unit-attack-there, unit-attack-there. Better than C&C

[lotsofcooki3s]

The game of my childhood!.... sigh

[LoboZeppelin]

i was addicted to this!!!! great game!

[Johnsonpapaw]

Who ever controls the dune controls the spice!

[IronJackalTw]

Johnsonpapaw,

Middle East.... land of sand.... home of Oil Reserves, Petroleum! The Oil Reserves control the Empire!! =/

ExxonMobil and the Iraq War....

v=atXXw1ayQNE

American Imperialism....

v=PIv3XVM5PVk

War in Middle-East, Iran next?....

v=ZDDr-BsKJAo

Who ever controls the Middle East controls the Oil Reserves!! {roll my eyes}

[IronJackalTw]

Johnsonpapaw,

Dune 2: Battle For Arrakis (Westwood Studios & Virgin Interactive 1992) = POLITICAL SATIRE at its finest in Video Games kind of like Xenogears (Tetsuya Takahashi of "Chrono Trigger" & Square 1998) and so on!! >=)

READ "Gulliver's Travels (1726)" by Jonathan Swift

READ "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900)" by Lyman Frank Baum

READ "The Princess Bride (1973)" by William Goldman

IDEA that Video Games have SHITTY Writers would be BS.... Poor GAMEPLAY is more like it!! =/

[RomeCenturion]

>.> wtf

[RMJ1984]

The animations, voice and music, it just fits so perfectly togther, this is actully way way better than the EA'ish dune 2000 intro.

[a1gz]

WTF is that :DDD 

[AnywHere13]

@a1gz That's the kind of games we played when Pluto still was a planet.

[fiddyschmitt]

BEST :D

[dune2online]

[jetset5964]

Music was fantastic, i played it so many times!!!

[p0werc0rdz]

wow so old, played this 1000 time, thx for posting this! so basic but that was the best game iever played in my young age.

[Jed118]

Individual clicking was a MAJOR problem with this game, but I tend to think of it as a lesson in mouse/keyboard co-ordination.

Think I'll fire up my 386DX and play it a bit...

[hermitcleric]

The units weren't well balanced, but this game broke ground for Command & Conquer, which was AWESOME.

[DerEddi]

GROUND BREAKING game! first of his kind! Loved it!

[IAMALIENQUEEN]

RIP Westwood....

Damn EA!

[cholomonkee]

Holy nostalgia batman.  I haven't played any Starcraft II as yet, but I bet I could hold my own even after all these years in a 1v1 of Dune.

[mrbogusthegreat]

So neat and eye friendly animations. Games were games in those times. 3d and real image rendering is dog's shit

[JesterJinn]

-Hey Pal, wanna 2v2 in Starcraft II ?

-Fuck it bro, I'm playing DUNE II !

[intelligentignorance]

@button7113 Predated pentiums. This was made in 1992. 386's were at the height of their lifetimes.

[Azion111]

Fantastic music...Amazing atmosphere!!]

[lygophile]

i'll force my kids to play it and i'll force them to love it as much as i did.

[Hiijonguh]

@lygophile hahaxD

[MultiTrixta]

@lygophile nice ;) will do that 2 :D! played this game for hours when i was younger <3

[matthewdoucette]

@lygophile hahaha i hear you!

[Hyshinara]

@lygophile Likewise, I will give my children a WinXP PC and let them play all of the Command & Conquer games + other Westwood games such as Dune2000 :D

[gang1337grace]

@lygophile why?

[fabry5005]

@lygophile Hahahha.

[MrJakys1234566]

[snowblind20]

Greatest strategy game ever!
