Interestingly both dune and dune 2 were released around the same time and both are amazing. Dune 2 created the rts genre while Dune was a wonderful combination of adventure and strategy. For Dune, I'd recommend the CD version https://www.freegameempire.com/games/Dune-CD https://www.freegameempire.com/games/Dune-CD There's a great series of articles on Filfre about both games and the Dune universe https://www.filfre.net/2018/11/controlling-the-spice-part-1-dune-on-page-and-screen/ https://www.filfre.net/2018/11/controlling-the-spice-part-1-...

  While it's true Dune popularized the RTS genre it wasn't close to the first. I'm sure this one is also not the first but here's Combat Leader for the Atari 800 from 1983 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G5CEA_P9Hc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G5CEA_P9Hc

  And some nice drum and bass sampling/quoting here: DJ Aphrodite - Spice ( Of The Gods Remix ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Td5sSdbRQE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Td5sSdbRQE

the DUNE spice opera soundtrack from the game from Stephane Picq is still very nice to listen to as well.

  The Dune 2 soundtrack is still my favourite video game OST. Even allowing for the fact that it doesn't faithfully replicate the Dune universe (e.g. House Ordos exists in the game) - some of the music is great for looking at Dune through a different set of eyes. As an example of this, the track "Prophecy part 1" kind of feels like there's a mundane reality that the coming of a saviour inhabits and it doesn't go away as a result of the saviour's presence.[1] Even better, this doesn't have to be the only interpretation of the track or any of the others in the soundtrack. It's wonderful. [1] https://youtu.be/UlQDWzeWuKg?list=PL738DEE2001BC5C1C&t=19 https://youtu.be/UlQDWzeWuKg?list=PL738DEE2001BC5C1C&t=19

  it's very good sound track, with some late 80's Tangerine Dream influence. The game was marvelous. They should do a remake, with some open world sandbox gameplay too, so that fans who already know the story can still quite enjoy it
