    Playlist: • Dune (1992) Full Playt...
    Look up the video Bitpunk Party and laugh because UA-cam says Dune (1992) copyright infringes on this 2018 song... that's right, in UA-cams world you can literally steal a 1992 PC game song, put a beat on top of it and have the algorithm protect it with copyright infringement warning. Anyway I submitted an appeal but I doubt UA-cam will understand the concept of time to reverse it. Just goes to show how easy it is to blatantly rip off other peoples music and get it protected by UA-cam.
    Anyway.....
    During 1992 I was playing Dune 2: Battle for Arrakis, the first PC RTS game. Little did I know that there was two Dune games both released in the same year.
    I had assumed there was a Dune 1 but the 90s were not the most market-friendly towards PC games. You would go into PC stores and buy whatever they had on stock. Not every place carried every game. EB games wasn't in every mall at the time (or even in every city).
    And so I missed this great title. I saw a neighbour have it once but I had just assumed it was a point-and-click adventure game from the way the box presented it on the back.
    Fast forward to 2004 I decided to install Dune (using DosBox on Windows XP). A friend and I, during one summer, basically replayed a bunch of old games together (talking on MSN chat). My mind was blown at how well the game was coded, how engaging the game was and how entertained I was throughout the whole thing.
    This was during a time when games like Half Life 2 (with all those golden mods) were out, so the fact it entertained me until completion says something. I cannot stress how fast new gaming developments would occur during the 90s to early 2000s. Graphics went from 2D to 3D, multiplayer went from very static simple message boards to interactive hundred-player-plus MMOs, CPUs and graphics got faster and hard drives got larger over a 1000x. I bring it up again to highlight how in a world of so many distractions Dune (1992) held up well. Put some Star Trek in the background on TV (Space channel had TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager playing from 9pm - 1 am slot), get some pizza, and just play play through the night managing your Fremen armies.
