Dune - A 1992 adventure strategy video game, based upon Frank Herbert's science fiction novel gets a Retro Freak Review!

I know that I hark on about licensed games not being very good, but the truth is that there are some really good licensed games out there. And today, we’re going to review one such game based on a movie I quite like (which is, by itself, based on a novel by Frank Herbert). I’m talking about Dune (based on David Lynch’s movie of the same name). Dune is an adventure/strategy game developed by Cryo Interactive and published by Virgin Games. It was originally released in 1992 for the Commodore Amiga and DOS. It was re-released the following year in CD-ROM format for DOS and the Sega Mega-CD/Sega CD.

Dune II: The Battle for Arrakis has been partially ported over to the ZX Spectrum! (100% Working!)

Call me an old timer but I love talking about the days of DOS, a time when the only thing in front of you other than a computer was a blinking command prompt waiting for you to run a game such as C:\, C:\Dune and Dune.exe. So to get a Facebook message from Saberman, that Dune II from 1992 by Westwood Studios was partially ported over to the ZX Spectrum with the intro, speech, and yes even the gigantic sandworm intact, I just had to give it a worthy mention on IRN.

Dune - Amiga adventure based on Frank Herbert's science fiction, for PC and Mac!

If, like me, racing games are just not your cup of tea, either because you're just no good at them or find them tedious, then how about playing another of Gamenostalgia's Amiga to PC and MAC playable releases, ' Dune '. Now don't get too excited this isn't the mind blowing RTS version Dune II that was released in 1992 but the rather addictive adventure strategy game, based upon Frank Herbert's science fiction novel of the same name!

Dune II - An incredible RTS classic comes to Amiga CD32

The next game for the Earok Amiga CD32 conversion is the very famous Dune II, an amazing RTS classic from Westwood, one of the best companies of my generation. Dune II became the defining genre of complexity and innovation, a huge success and laid the foundation for Command & Conquer, and many other RTS games to come. Play as a commander of one of the three interplanetary houses, the Atreides, the Harkonnen or the Ordos, and gain ultimate control of the spice of the planet Arrakis. Build bases, harvest spice and command your units in one of the best RTS games ever released.

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.
