- petercooper 5y agoIf anyone hasn't played the game Dune, it is definitely worth checking out - if only to watch a Let's Play on YouTube. It's not really an RTS a la the more famous Dune 2, but a sort of adventure/strategy mix. The appeal, though, is just in how luscious it is. It's a bit dizzying, beautiful (remarkably so, for the era), and full of soul in a way that few games of the era were. The Adlib Gold soundtrack in particular remains an amazing work of art too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUfGyfbzl9k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUfGyfbzl9k
- dpio 5y agoThat was a great game. “Atomics!”
- bigbizisverywyz 5y agoYes, there's nothing like 2 straight hours of "Building". "Deploying" "Sandworm Attack!" To get you into the Dune mood :)
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoThere are 2 different "first" games of Dune, that one is Dune 2, there's also Dune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3NcFEvc4yk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3NcFEvc4yk It even has clips from David Lynch's movie. Sigh, I remember getting the CD-ROM version with my first multimedia PC and playing this game...
