DUNE
2: THE BUILDING OF A DYNASTY
(1992)
Westwood
Studios
Those
of who who thought Warcraft and Command & Conquer were the first
of the Real-Time Strategy crazy, think again! Dune 2 was the beginning
of it all and Westwood is to thank. Before they cranked out Nod
and GDI, they had put House Atreides, Harkonnen, and Ordos (who?)
on the battlefield. I remember not being as good as my friend Sam
at this new real-time strategy concept, especially when Warcraft
I came around. The game was based on Frank Herbert's "Dune",
Although there were definately departures from the books, but the
sand worms were there..and they hurt, bad! I know I never finished
this game with any side.
Those
who want to see the start of it all, you can check this out, or
you can get Dune 2000, which is basicly the exact same game only
it is 8 years newer. Either way, have fun!
