Dune might be the best game ever (ok, not as good as Xcom, but one hell of a game anyway). Any way, some people play Betrayal at Krondor over and over again, some play Dungeon Master, but I play Dune over at least once a year (it's not that long actually, last time I magically lost Chani, so couldn't finish it :-)

BTW, was this video from early demo (at least that's how I understood the description) since there's no Lachlan?

I dunno, the demo was dated to October 1993, so it's possibly a very late demo. At least, Paul Atreides doesn't look like MacLachlan anymore (or yet).

This game was simply amazing!, i remember being completely captivated by the art and story and subtle details (like the ding noise in the music when a drip hits the water). I somehow managed to finish it all first go... i was excited to get dune 2 later but was very dissapointed the adventure story component had been removed and hardly played it.

Um, why is Paul's face different? Gimme my Kyles'face back!

Dune I was my fav game. Btw, if this is the PC game, can you tell me where I can download it as an abandonware(that HAS sound).

A great game overshadowed by its predecessor, Dune II: Battle for Arrakis.

@Retardretroguy I agree with you here. The only reason this game is not as well remembered as Dune II: Battle for Arrakis is because Dune II ushered in the new era/genre of Real Time Strategy games.

In fact: I think I will play Dune right now!

Chani - my first love!

Interesting to see the new faces.

Also the music can't hold a candle to the amiga version. :(

Jesus. What happened to Sting's face? Especially his super-stiff jaw.

People are always so critical of the film, but you know what? You're lucky to even have the film. :) In some ways it's a work of art, in other ways a box-office failure, in some ways true to the book, in others it seems to ignore the book, that makes it unique, and it has a cult following regardless.

just so you know, there were two versions. One for pc and one Amiga version (if I remember correctly). This explains the different graphics

Probably the best Adlib music ever. However, being one of the (very) few games that had native support for the ill-fated Adlib 2000 card I'd really like to hear that.
