Both Dune and Dune II were released in 1992, Dune was interactive adventure from Cryo, Dune II was RTS from Westwood. Dune II was also re-released as Dune 2000 for Windows.
Dune was not bad, but personally I love Dune II a lot. It was the first RTS I played, and it had such a huge influence on this genre for the years to come.
- leoc 5y agoAnnoyingly, neither Dune (1) nor Dune 2 seems likely to get a legal rerelease. I can't find the details atm, but apparently GOG made quite a serious try to get the rights, only to hit a brick wall with the Herbert estate which claimed to be uninterested in rereleasing old licensed games. Then it approved the rerelease of the 1979 Dune boardgame from Avalon Hill https://www.polygon.com/2019/8/9/20797781/dune-board-game-gale-force-9-pre-order-release-date-price https://www.polygon.com/2019/8/9/20797781/dune-board-game-ga... . ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think the social media team for this game is likely to be fielding a lot of questions about where the Westwood Dune II rerelease is.
- Symmetry 5y agoDune 2000 was really Command & Conquer reskinned more than a successor to Dune II, at least in how it played.
