Not sure how much of the soundtrack was written by Frank Klepacki but it would have been one of his earliest titles. You can hear elements of the main track ‘Turbulence’ in the track ‘Heroism’ he wrote for Tiberian Sun.
@@jothain I remember playing some RTS extensively as a kid, but i didn't have a proper PC at the time and was only able to play it while visiting someone. IT may have been C&C.

@@selensewar Makes sense. I think everyone has their favorites. To me it's C&C. Just yesterday tried it's remake and even the title video music etc. brought back so much memories. I think it was the second title I got for cd having sound card and that kind of video animation experiences left a definite impression 😊
I can relate to this comment. I've been trying more games like this but none got me as much as this one :) (I keep looking at GoG with some hope that will appear there)
Have you guys by the way tried the Dune 2000 remake? I've been planning to test it for ages, but never have and forgot it. It would be interesting to hear comments about it. I mean how it compares to the original.
I remember mission 4 vividly as a kid, with Atredies it was such a huge surge of difficulty compared to the three before. It took me ages to start the mission strong enough to beat it, or at least it seemed like it at the time. It was the first mission to really test your build order out, and you needed to be as efficient as possible with it (which, as it was the first time you could build heavy vehicles, required at least one loss to see what you were doing and where you needed to go). It's bad enough at mission start it gives you only a bunch of light vehicles with their puny machine guns to take out your oppenent's soon-to-come armoured Combat Tanks, but then it adds another layer of dilemma by also being the first mission to harass you on all fronts with the frequent Sarduakar drops up your jaxey, also for the first time lol. So many new combat elements get introduced all at once. Playing as Ordos or Harkonnen, you could get by and take a bit longer by sticking your Rocket-Launching Troopers on the mountains near your base to deal with the incoming enemy armour, but as Atreides you had to rush Combat Tanks as efficiently as possible or you were boned. Was a harsh lesson to young me in RTS-gameplay planning efficiency lol. As stressful as it was, fond memories :p.
@@ShadowPriestBear Nobody starts off with Combat Tanks that mission. You can still build them same as everyone else though. Maybe you're thinking about a later mission, when Atredies and Harkonnen get Rocket Tanks, but Ordos don't?
I used to watch my dad play this when i was a kid! I would have a go from time to time but there was too much to focus on at that age so i never made it very far. The music, voice over and graphics provide so much nostalgia!! Running over infantry in trucks never got old :D
This is the version I played when I was a wee lad; before even the whites of my eyes had turned blue from spice. I was looking at the DOS version of this today and was surprised to see how different they are. Like, all of the building models and unit models and menus are different. It wasn't a 'port' like we know of today, it was more like a remake.
Not only is it a better version of a PC game which is rare on its own, but I have yet to play another Strategy game that plays better on a console, than it’s mouse & keyboard counterpart.
Dune is based on a complex imagined society set roughly 20,000 years in the future. The setting is the year 10,191 of the 101st century and human beings have spread out and colonized planets throughout the universe
Yeah, DOS/Amiga versions were first. Even though the graphics weren't as advanced in the Mega Drive version, the console port was a rare case of superiority (though it was more common for that to be the case back then, due to PCs in general being less powerful and less purchased with gaming in mind). The contextual-click the game had was a godsend to making the game much more managable, in addition to the follow-the-leader contextual command making managing larger forces more practical.
@@blaynestaleypro Because on the PC version you would have to click your unit, then click move/attack, whatever your command was, then click your target. On Mega Drive you just had to click your unit and then click on it's target, and the game would automatically move or attacked depending on what you clicked - like a modern RTS. You could use a hotkey for each individual order type on the PC, but it was tedious non-the-less. In addition, on PC you had to build each concrete slab individually until half way through the campaign, and even then it was a pricey Con Yard upgrade to build multiple. That meant you would have to click-conyard-click-build-click place 4 times (16 clicks in total, not to mentioned the inconvenience of the construction-complete construction wait-cycle - no build queing!) to get enough concrete for even the most basic structures. On the Mega Drive version their was no single concrete slab, you could build the combined 4 concrete slabs together all at once from the first mission, which meant 8 clicks to place a basic structure instead of 20. It also had a button that would automatically start building the last thing you built, which would make the process of building multiple units far more streamlined. Finally, while there was no box select, you could order a unit to "follow the leader" which made it easier to move big armies around. On PC you were stuck ordering each unit individually. So yeah, it mostly had a vastly more streamlined UI than the PC version, despite being on a controller, which is why it was the superior version to actually play, overall, even if the graphics weren't as fancy. It 'felt' better I suppose.
I finished the DOS version of the game until the last mission. But this version I wasn't able to beat it, but I really like this port. It really works great, I never thought that a good example for a console port of a PC game would be an RTS.
once i finally sat down and learned how this game worked and played, i was hooked.. it actually sat in my house for years b4 i sat down and decided to play.. after that, real time strategy games was part of my favorite games to play.. from this, to Command and Conquer, all the way up to Halo Wars.. a very fun genre to play.
i remember when i came to germany as a 4 year old in 1994, i came in an asylum home for foreigners. It was a big building with lots of foreigners. my first friend was a polish kid, he might be 7 and we played sega all day long. dune was once of all the games. hope u are fine and u have a good life Christian.
I played this on the PS1 and have discovered this version on a game stick those with the 20000 games on it. Can you only move 1 unit at a time on this version cos its doing my head in
You can, but not by dragging a box over them like in Warcraft or Command & Conquer. You can click multiple units in a row, then issue a command, and each unit will follow that command.
The first Command & Conquer Westwood too, and on Megadrive. Command & Conquer ( cursor free )even though Halo Wars ( select smart ) is perfect is still my favorite RTS, too bad it didn't come out for Nintendo Switch.
I can't be the only one that kept getting excited everytime "Death Hand approaching" played only to be disappointed when it completely missed his densely packed base and defensive units.
It’s a stock sound you find in stock libraries. You listen closely enough to media you’ll hear the same ones over and over - bird chirps, children laughing
Absolutely brilliant game, had it in the mid 90's played it and clocked it on each team, all 3 of em, Weirdly it did not repeat any play or set pieces if memory serves, I played the same play, with the computer always having a different play, admittedly it was like 4 or 5 plays, so it maybe a set play: random or cyclical of like 10 set pieces, So 1 of 10 set pieces to play, Imo it was a fuzzy logic, no pattern, Anyway, I left the original game and sega with other games and do much more, Got another one with a sega like 20 years later, Godbless,
Uno de los mejores juegos de Sega y no he podido pasar las misiones finales de Atreides y Harkkonen pero he podido pasar de los Ordos. P.d. Death hand,APROACHING!!
Just mark building and go zone where wish drop super weapon same like attak with units. But need 1st see ok on palace this mean super weapon its rdy.

Herzog Zwei for the same console, play this game and get back to me with any comments, good or bad....
This game is a jewel and my first approach to the RTS genre. God bless you Westwood Studios and Sega for this wonderful game.
I wasn't fan of strategy games back then, but I got hooked with Dune. Such a great game.

Still a good game today, basically a 16bit c&c

While the single-unit selection is kind of primitive, you can get units to follow each other. So that sort of takes the worst of it out.
