Dune: Spice Wars

[TonyTurbo78]

Looks like it has some Surviving Mars vibes.

I'm pleased someone else thought that, I was thinking exactly the same watching the video.

I wondered if it was the same studio as it looks so similar but it's not.

No, looks like it's Funcom who most recently did Conan I think.

Ah Dune 2 on a 486sx25mhz. Happy days

I found my old PC CD copy of Dune 2 from back when I was a kid
Says 1995 but I'm sure I got it bit later than that but I did play Dune 1 and 2 on my Amiga first and enjoyed it!

Dune 2: Battle for Arrakis on my Amiga was time well spent.

If you want to re-live Dune II then there is a great Android port of it, I think it was free in GitHub. Played it through a few times.

I have nooooo idea what and how to do this from googling that

here is one for windows.
go here download the zip and extract it on your PC and play it

https://github.com/stefanhendriks/Dune-II---The-Maker/releases

Can't save your progress though at the moment so a bit of a pain.

 

[Liquid_Entity]

Yeah thats what I googled and found. No idea about GitHub or how it works but I keep downloading zips, with folder structures but theres no content to actually play it.

edit: nvm I played that one from stefanhendriks.

Oh I'm thinking of dune 2000. That was pretty good, didn't realise there were any before that.

I do vaguely remember playing Dune back in the mid 90's on one of my first machines (can't remember if it was my 386 SX 25 or my 486 DX 100 ). I do have Emperor: Battle for Dune which I installed on Lutris and last year and played for a few nights

 

[Scougar]

Dune/dune 2 were real fun. Needs a worthy game.

This almost looks to civ to me. Not a fan of the art either... But time will tell.

Anyone playing this? £17 on CD keys.

Saw the Angry Joe review and was a bit "meh". Looks a lot like Dune 2 with a fresh coat of paint. Was hoping for more scale/less cartoony.

 

[bakes0310]

51% off on cdkeys as well.

It's a decent game. I look's quite bland and basic but there is a lot of depth granted you expect that in a 4x ! Worth it for £17.

Like him or hate him, gives a fair review.

 

[Infidelus]

Thanks for that. Glad I didn't buy it when it was £22 on another site

 

[Wucked]

It looks interesting to me, although a little light on content at the moment. I might buy it when the campaign is added.

 

[something daft already!!]

I bought this last night and played for about 20 mins. I'll give it a proper go tonight but it is very early access. Not much to it, only a few GB in size.
