Today I am going to talk about the game, by which I spent a lot of time – Dune 2. The game was a great hit in 1992. It is also one of the games that defined the games genre “real-time strategy”.

Why is the game in the Hall of Fame?

1. Dune 2 was inspired by a famous science fiction book, The Dune by Frank Herbert (who of you have not read it, I highly recommend!).
2. At that time the game had excellent graphics and great animation.
3. The main reason, however, was game mechanics and gameplay of Dune
4. Spice mining, construction of buildings, creating of units and combat.

At the beginning of the game, the player choose one of the families – Atreides, the Harkonnen or Ordos. The game itself is made up of missions and the course is always the same: establish a base, mine of spice, construct buildings and defenses, build military units and defeat the enemy.

In retrospect, the game already has many shortcomings. Weaker AI and bugs in the game that is easy to ensure your victory. Nowadays players are probably quickly poisoned from need to click on each unit separately.

But the game was a hit and will forever remain a legend of computer games.

If you do not know the game, you can get an idea from the following video.

If you want play this great game and again kick ass evil Harkonens, I have great news for you – can play an open source remake of the game: Dune Legacy!
