Compilation Dune Duology - Dune & Dune II, two amazing Amiga classics now PC Playable!

Game Type : Adventure, RTS
Games in Compilation : Dune, Dune II: The Battle For Arrakis
Launcher Developer :  The Company.pl
Game Info  : The Company.pl has once again released another set of Amiga classics and this time it's none other than Dune & Dune II. Whereas Dune by Cyro is a 1992 Adventure/Strategy video game, based upon Frank Herbert's science fiction novel - Dune II: is based upon David Lynch's 1984 movie Dune and is an RTS released in 92-93. Although in both games you are tasked to mine the spice from the desert planet Arrakis, in the first game it is far more Adventure based in the fact you talk to people, hire allies and defeat the Harkonnen. The second game has far more dominance in our minds as it was one of the greatest RTS games ever released and developed by a very famous company, Westwood. Dune II established the format that would be followed for years to come and laid the foundation for many great games such as the Command & Conquer series. Your task in the second game unlike the first is to deliver the most spice for Emperor Frederick IV and pay off his debts, but be warned as you are up against the Atreides, Harkonnen, and Ordos (depending on who you play). Build bases, harvest the most spice, defeat the enemy and claim the planet as your own, a planet full of spice!  Now thanks to The Company.pl you can play these amazing Amiga classics on your PC.

Abandoned Places compilation - An Amiga dungeon crawler series set above and below ground (PC playable!)

Game Type : Dungeon Crawler RPG
Amiga Launcher Developer : The Company.pl
Original Developer : ArtGame
Compilation : Abandoned Places 1 & 2
Game Info : Over the last few weeks I've had the pleasure of beta testing the new The Company.pl release of Abandoned Places 1 & 2 from 1992/93, which includes cheat trainers. This series may not be as good as Dungeon Master or even Eye of the Beholder but it does include both above and below ground areas of combat and exploration. I also liked the fact that your characters can starve and need food, you can also visit towns and locations on the world map. Two good games, however AB2 was more of a let down over 1, with the first dungeon in AB2 being extremely tedious to get out of and didn't rate highly in retro reviews either. Also not much in the way of stat development and no auto-map. But enough about that, if you want to explore different dungeons, secret areas, find loot and fight enemies in a grid based system, then check out these two games re-released for the PC in a single exe!
