    This was my favorite game, looking forward to watching the video

    ‘Hi Paul, i’m your mother Jessica Attradies.’

    The writing wasn’t quite upto the books but nothing was as exciting as patch by patch transforming the globe

    Watched this the other day, it’s a good watch if you like lgr and/or have an interest in DOS strategy games. Personally I’d like to see more games experiment with hybrid game styles like this one did.

    Absolutely love this game. Played it from beginning to end on the PC multiple times over the decades. The original floppy version that is, not the poncy CD version he’s using! 😂

    Rofl, how did they miss Dune 2? It was so revolutionary! I wonder what was before it, 32 years ago.

    …

    FUCK

    My inner dialog reading that title.

    Edit - lol never mind, read the title wrong. Thought some new Dune game was coming out “32 years since the last one”

      Tht would be wired there’s dune games out all the time. Saw 1 last night with portraits of the current cast. From the screenshot it would make my monkey brain bleed though

      Also dune 2 was fucking amazing

        I played the Mega Drive/Genesis version when I was a kid and it hooked me so much that I rented it several more times, it was a great game. I always wanted to play the first one too, but I didn’t get to actually play it until a few years ago, awesome game too, maybe better than Dune 2 for me.

          I played this one years later. Couldn’t wrap my head around it and after about the 3rd spice delivery I never had enough. Don’t think I got deep enough in to give it a fair crack
