Harvesting spice from the sand dunes allows it to be refined and converted into credits. Each of the houses has a distinct personality which is reflected by the units under their command. House Atreides favours guerrilla warfare and allies itself with the Freman, natives of Arrakis, while House Harkonnen uses its wealth to field armies of huge battle tanks. The final house, Ordos, favours stealth, saboteurs and chemical weapons.
Over the course of a multi-mission campaign you must first establish a base before attempting to overthrow the rival houses and take control of Arrakis and its Spice reserves, leading to one of three endings depending on the house you chose.
This game would mark the beginning of a gaming dynasty for Westwood. Screenshots from MobyGames. Forbidden64 2 points. It's right above the pictures. I want to say something snarky but I'll just leave it there.
E -1 point. Lailoken42 3 points. I played this back in the day. While it gets credit for starting a whole genre I mean, it had to have done something right to inpire command and conquer the fact that you can't select multiple units makes it soo clunky to play.
I have memories of when it was time to attack the enemy base, frantically scrolling back and forth to select a unit, order it to the enemy base, over and over again. I was aware of how clunky it was at the time, so this isn't just my modern context speaking. How the devs could have gotten so much right, and gotten that one thing just so wrong I will never know.

This game was epic in its day, I was around 12 when my dad's friend brought the game over in its new box I remember nights staying up all night with my dad playing I still remember the smell of the games old box, it was hard to beat a few of the end game levels but that's what made it do fun to play, u had to come up with different base strategies to win, I do remember one level requiring you to build a base with a million Turrets and wave after wave of enemies marched into my Turrets Death Field APh 0 point DOS version.

KingY2j -5 points. There are so many crybabies here that can't beat the game lmao, i beat it so easily and i found it very fun, a classic and great game.
AI so overpowered!?! I played this game in middle school when it first came out. I remembered how fun this game was. It was challenging but very beatable. I can't wait to play this game again.
Dead Cow 42 1 point DOS version. Look I may not have been born at the right time to play this when it came out, but I love it. I was brought up playing orginal X box games, and playing strategy games is what lead me to this gem.
I think its hard, but its fair. If you think about it warfare is hard, and no game is meant to be quick and easy. So to any of you asshats complaining that its too hard, or the AI is to powerful, then go back to your newer easier games, with difficulty settings. Thats part of this games charm, its hard. Its meant to be.
So I say bring the challenge. I mean no offense to any of the gamers that played this when they were young, and would be honored if you were to teach me a few tricks and tips. Please, play it for yourself, and learn the controls, it isnt too hard. Billy 0 point. Jerry in WA 0 point. This game was my gaming crack in the early 90s. It doesn't get the credit it deserves. I think a brand new Dune game would be amazing. I'd even take a remake of this or Dune but, all new, that would be an old gamer's dream.
The Dune IP has so much more to offer. HF 1 point. I just know that the people here bashing the game are like 16 or 20 years old. You don't know that there wasn't anything like this ever, until Dune II came out. All those strategic games you play now, with advanced skills and playability.. Salut a tous. Merci pour cette charmante version. Il y avait des dialogues audios. Gavin -1 point DOS version. Juner 0 point DOS version. One of the best, and one of the first DOS games I've played.
Been years. I had no internet or walkthru back then, but I managed to finish the game on my own. Probably the first RPG-ish game I've played too. Well I hope the enhanced version, Dune CD, could be found here soon.
I don't know or can't find any official patch to the floppy version, I'm thinking it had only one release version. And probably DuneCD is of higher version number since it is an enhanced edition afterall.
Thanks, Chief. Tim 0 point DOS version. Actually, there is a high replayability, because you can attack the Harkonnen from different regions, with different results. Also you can use ecology or skip it altogether, and certain events may or may not take place depending on the pace you play at. And Chani looks much better than Harrah, my opinion:P. It is quite a bit movie Lynch's movie from eighties like game. Re-play value is not high, there is more or less nothing new.
If you never play - try. The only strange thing - Harrah looks better than Chani. Feyd 0 point DOS version. Share your gamer memories, help others to run the game or comment anything you'd like.

The protagonist is a protagonist named Paul Atreides. He must confront the House of Harkonnen and rescue his mother Jessica in the desert. Dune Legacy is an effort by a handful of developers to revitalize the first-ever real-time strategy game. The original game was the basis for the hugely successful Command and Conquer series, and the gameplay has been replicated an extended to a wide variety of storylines and series.
Similar technologies, structures, and units are available to all three, but to each with different balances of strength versus speed and durability versus expense. Although the real-time nature of this strategy game presents players with a constant flow of action to command, the path to victory can be considered in three main steps.
The ultimate objective is to collect spice, so a base must be built to deploy harvester units to the dangerous desert wastelands. Spice can only be harvested from sandy areas, where worms prowl, and buildings can only be constructed on rocky areas, so the layout of a base may itself pose challenges. Second, suitable defenses must be enlisted to protect these delicate harvesting operations, from both the indigenous giant sandworms and the attack forces of competing Houses. Finally, to secure victory in most later missions, competing Houses must be completely eliminated from the map, which calls on players to develop and command their own attack forces to decimate their enemies' bases.
The planet Arrakis also known as Dune for its sandy landscape is the only place in the known universe where Melange more commonly known as the Spice can be found. The Spice is the basis of interstellar travel and thus the standard of the Imperial economy. To increase productivity, The Padishah Emperor has invited three powerful Houses Harkonnen, Atreides and Ordos to compete against one another economically and bring up spice production.
Competition among these houses begins peacefully but soon turns ugly as they battle each other with armed troops, advanced weaponry, and spies. The planet itself is also hostile, with dangerous sandworms inhabiting the spice fields. Dune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre.
Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses.
In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed.
