Emperor Frederick IV of House Corrino is desperate for the harvesting of the valuable drug melange (also known as "the spice" ), found only on the planet Arrakis, to pay off all of his debt incurred on internecine wars with family members. To achieve this, he now offers the sole governorship of Arrakis to whichever of the three Houses (Atreides, Harkonnen, and Ordos) delivers the most spice for him. War begins as deputations from all three Houses arrive on Arrakis.
Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty (retitled Dune II: Battle for Arrakis in Europe and Dune: The Battle for Arrakis for the Mega Drive/Genesis port respectively) is a real-time strategy video game developed by Westwood Studios and released by Virgin Interactive on Jan 1, 1992. It is based upon David Lynch's 1984 movie Dune, an adaptation of Frank Herbert's science fiction novel of the same name. While not necessarily the first real-time strategy (RTS) game, Dune II established the format that would be followed for years to come. As such, Dune II was the archetypal "real-time strategy" game. Striking a balance between complexity and innovation, it was a huge success and laid the foundation for Command & Conquer, Warcraft, StarCraft, and many other RTS games that followed.
The Mega Drive/Genesis port has fairly different building and unit graphics, a full-screen menu-less user interface suited for gamepad control, and no save game support, relying on passwords for accessing each level. Other additions include a music test option and a tutorial that replaces the mentat screen. Several ideas from this version, including the music track listing and the replacement of sidebar command buttons by a context-sensitive cursor, were used in Westwood's next strategy game, Command & Conquer.
Played as all Houses. I didn't go for the most efficient way to win and instead tried using house-appropriate strategy in each campaign. The beginning of the Atreides campaign has the intro and tutorial, the end of Ordos campaign contains cheat codes. -

Dune just happened at the exact moment to leave a lasting impression that nothing topped since then, even if they were objectively better games i think.

Have you guys by the way tried the Dune 2000 remake? I've been planning to test it for ages, but never have and forgot it. It would be interesting to hear comments about it. I mean how it compares to the original.

@KotCR 4 года назад

I remember mission 4 vividly as a kid, with Atredies it was such a huge surge of difficulty compared to the three before. It took me ages to start the mission strong enough to beat it, or at least it seemed like it at the time. It was the first mission to really test your build order out, and you needed to be as efficient as possible with it (which, as it was the first time you could build heavy vehicles, required at least one loss to see what you were doing and where you needed to go). It's bad enough at mission start it gives you only a bunch of light vehicles with their puny machine guns to take out your oppenent's soon-to-come armoured Combat Tanks, but then it adds another layer of dilemma by also being the first mission to harass you on all fronts with the frequent Sarduakar drops up your jaxey, also for the first time lol. So many new combat elements get introduced all at once. Playing as Ordos or Harkonnen, you could get by and take a bit longer by sticking your Rocket-Launching Troopers on the mountains near your base to deal with the incoming enemy armour, but as Atreides you had to rush Combat Tanks as efficiently as possible or you were boned. Was a harsh lesson to young me in RTS-gameplay planning efficiency lol. As stressful as it was, fond memories :p.

@sergiomendoza5165 3 года назад

The 4th mission was the 1st difficult mission by the combat tanks,the purple suprise attack and the infamous sandworms.

House Ordos is the most hardest of the three houses because Ordos don't have tanks in that mission.

@KotCR 7 месяцев назад

@@ShadowPriestBear Nobody starts off with Combat Tanks that mission. You can still build them same as everyone else though. Maybe you're thinking about a later mission, when Atredies and Harkonnen get Rocket Tanks, but Ordos don't?

This is the version I played when I was a wee lad; before even the whites of my eyes had turned blue from spice. I was looking at the DOS version of this today and was surprised to see how different they are. Like, all of the building models and unit models and menus are different. It wasn't a 'port' like we know of today, it was more like a remake.

@@TrangleC I'm pretty sure the DOS/Amiga versions were released in 1992, but the Mega Drive version I think was released in 1994

@KotCR 4 года назад

Yeah, DOS/Amiga versions were first. Even though the graphics weren't as advanced in the Mega Drive version, the console port was a rare case of superiority (though it was more common for that to be the case back then, due to PCs in general being less powerful and less purchased with gaming in mind). The contextual-click the game had was a godsend to making the game much more managable, in addition to the follow-the-leader contextual command making managing larger forces more practical.

@blaynestaleypro 4 года назад

@@KotCR I don't understand how this better than the PC version. How is using a controller ever better than a mouse/keyboard for RTS?

@KotCR 4 года назад

@@blaynestaleypro Because on the PC version you would have to click your unit, then click move/attack, whatever your command was, then click your target. On Mega Drive you just had to click your unit and then click on it's target, and the game would automatically move or attacked depending on what you clicked - like a modern RTS. You could use a hotkey for each individual order type on the PC, but it was tedious non-the-less. In addition, on PC you had to build each concrete slab individually until half way through the campaign, and even then it was a pricey Con Yard upgrade to build multiple. That meant you would have to click-conyard-click-build-click place 4 times (16 clicks in total, not to mentioned the inconvenience of the construction-complete construction wait-cycle - no build queing!) to get enough concrete for even the most basic structures. On the Mega Drive version their was no single concrete slab, you could build the combined 4 concrete slabs together all at once from the first mission, which meant 8 clicks to place a basic structure instead of 20. It also had a button that would automatically start building the last thing you built, which would make the process of building multiple units far more streamlined. Finally, while there was no box select, you could order a unit to "follow the leader" which made it easier to move big armies around. On PC you were stuck ordering each unit individually. So yeah, it mostly had a vastly more streamlined UI than the PC version, despite being on a controller, which is why it was the superior version to actually play, overall, even if the graphics weren't as fancy. It 'felt' better I suppose.
