[@Cenot4ph]

That intro alone, thumbs up, brings back a lot of memories even though i haven't seen this is decades

[@SardaukarSentinel]

When playing this as a kid, the best trick I pulled off to defeat the enemy, was to deploy an MCV on the land near the enemy's base. From there placing concrete slabs into their base and start placing my Rocket Turrets inside the enemy's base. At first they will kind of ignore it, but later will pay attention to it. But if you placed enough Rocket Turrets, it would tear the whole place apart from the inside. Making your army's job a lot easier as auxiliery support.

[@liberatetutemeexinferis5902]

That's pretty clever.

[@velo66]

Could this have been the first instance of base crawling? Haha

[@SardaukarSentinel]

@@Volganian That's funny. I never noticed that before. Well, at least I would send a vehicle to harass the enemy's harvester and even destroy it just to mess with them. The other thing I noticed in some gameplay here on KZbin is that you were able to capture an enemy building by sending a soldier inside, as long as the building's health was in the red. That too, I never realized that was even possible.

[@EricFontaineJazz]

Remembering how back in the day, we couldn't select multiple units by dragging a box. For every single unit, we had to manually click on them, move the mouse to the destination, click, and the move the mouse back to the next unit, and repeat the process for our entire army.

[@Alianger]

It's possible to make other units follow a leader unit, at least in the genesis/mega drive port and the later dune legacy source port

[@UnknownSquid]

Worse than that. In the genuine original, there was no context sensitive mouse commands. So you had to click a unit, click the exact desired command in the UI on the right, and then click the target/destination. If you miss clicked an attack order because the enemy moved, you had to repeat clicking the UI. So the modernised control scheme used here in the video, is actually dramatically faster and easier than it used to be.

[@musikforkveld]

You can max have 20 units in Dune 2, or close to it. So its more doable.

[@saneman7177]

Pretty sure you could press M or A on the keyboard as short keys if my memory serves me correctly

[@Waterflux]

That was an excellent RTS game for the 1990s and very addictive! The other game that was quite addictive around the same decade was Master of Orion. One thing I miss about the 1990s vintage strategy game is that it was nowhere as complicated as today, hence its level of micromanagement was somewhat more acceptable. Another thing I liked about Dune II was its storyline. As the player's faction becomes more powerful, the emperor tries backstab the player's faction. It would not be Dune unless there is an element of mutual distrust and paranoia! :D

This was epic when I first got it as a kid. I was in my room with only the computer screen on, watching the intro, I was amazed and drawn into this world. The sounds, the graphics, the sweet animated intro. Everything was well made, and the most important thing is its fun. The controls were a bit clunky, but that was easily overlooked and gotten used to. I am happy to see a part of my childhood on here. I am bummed out RTS games have fallen, they seem to be so few and far between these days. Would love to see a new Dune RTS. Someone make it so!

[@johngalt5072]

My tactic was to build a wall of tanks with couple of mlrs in the back and advacings like a wall, moving it closer and closer to the enemy base. The CPU was sending piecemeal his units against my wall. After reaching the base I would use one mlrs to destroy the turrets (the mlrs range was only one square bigger so you have to be careful to move the mlrs perpendicular to the turret).

[@gabrielonnerfors885]

Haha I vividly remember that one square extra range ❤

[@Gazelichkin]

at the very beginning I completed dune 2 only as the Harkonens, using nuclear bombs, then I played Warcraft 2, I came up with this square on the sides with swordsmen, behind nii archers and in the middle with a catpult, so I easily completed Warcraft 2 and later I returned to dune 2 and along the square passed for all factions.

This is just fucking epic to watch. Reliving my childhood. I still know that refineries are 2x3 and windtraps 2x2 and how happy I felt when large concrete slabs and later turrets finally became options. You really had to focus to actually complete a mission, the AI is a real bitch. No tutorial mission, very basic hints, this was fucking pure strategy at its finest. This game has really contributed to who I am today. btw, this guy is a PRO ;)

When PC games were just games.

[@the_kombinator]

What are they now? (I'm not being sarcastic - I still play old games on 386s)

[@TheCalmPsycho]

​@@the_kombinator Too long, didn't read version: before the 2010s, you bought a game you got the game, no ifs ands or buts, now you have to buy games off of checklist charts and in-game monetization to get the full experience. For example: some people have had their kids accidentally spend 5000 euros on one FIFA game because not all parent's are the best when it comes to technology or are aware of what some games actually ask for. If you have the time I suggest reading the slightly more indepth version, I find these types of discussions fascinating and maybe you might have some input I haven't heard before. Longer version: What kagemusha168 said is a hyperbolic take on the current gaming industry. Back before around 2008 ish (rough estimate) games came all included, no extra costs, you paid the price and got the game. Now you buy games at BASE price ($60 USD, sometimes $70) and then depending on the publisher/dev, you have to pay $10-30 for 'day one' expansion packs or dlc that are 'extra' when really it was cut content to sell to the customer piecemeal, or later if devs actually made more for that game months after the fact. And if you are even more lucky, the publisher/dev will give you 'player choice' to spend $2 at a random wheel spin or other microtransactions to get cosmetics to change how the game looks, except there are multiple wheels for different sets of items, sometimes dozens of wheels that go in and out of limited availability for the must have now effect. Some games even allow you to purchase things to skip the gameplay all together because they make something that could take 10 minutes take 8 hours of grinding, so you can choose to spend a week to get it, or pay $10 to get it right away. Of course, I am giving a very straight forward no bullshit answer, but you could write essays on each point and how thousands of factors can affect the viability of those monetization strategies. For example, free games need to make money, so buying cosmetics is a good way to do that without affecting the actual gameplay, but spinning 4 wheels for $10 to get a random chance at a rare 3% odds item is bullshit in my opinion but I understand that simply selling that one thing for $5 won't make the company anywhere near as much money, even though I would support a more upfront selling strategy than what is practically gambling. Game vs game comparison: Assassin's Creed Odyssey vs Ghost of Tsushima, both are very similar games in terms of gameplay and scope, but each game has an entirely different monetization standard. Ghost of Tsushima($60 USD): There is no paid DLC (that I am aware of) and no in game options to spend more money on anything. There are plenty of cosmetics, but to get them you have to explore the map to find them and unlock more through gameplay. Sort of like the games made decades ago. Done, that is it, pretty simple. Assassin's Creed Odyssey($60 USD): Note I am taking this information from a Kotaku article as I have not played the game myself. I will vastly cut down the article here, but I suggest you give it a read to see the full scope for yourself, www.kotaku.com.au/2018/10/ubisoft-explains-assassins-creed-odysseys-microtransactions-and-some-of-the-math-behind-them/ Someone also calculated the cost of all the microtransactions in the game to be approximately $393 USD (not including the base $60 game or the Ultimate edition that includes the season pass which includes the dlc and some in game store items which costs roughly $120 USD) source article for that, www.gamebyte.com/assassins-creed-odyssey-player-calculates-total-cost-of-all-in-game-microtransactions/ Note again that you don't NEED to buy these things, but they are all downloaded on your computer/console and it is your choice to pay for these things to be unlocked, and some of these items affect the gameplay severely. This game has an entire store interface inside of it to sell you more things, and you buy Helix credits, a fake currency which can only buy items in that game, with real money. $5 USD will get you 500 Helix credits (so generally $1 = 100 hc), and $50 USD (almost the price of entry just to play the game) will get you 7400 Helix Credits (most games will do a scaling system where each increment -5, 10, 20, 50, 100- will get you +5% more credits +10% more +20% more etc. to entice you to spend more). Cost of items: 2 outfits, 500 helix credits each, item upgrade resource packs 200-2000 hc each, 2 types of permanent experience boosters for different things (making the game less grindy so you spend less time playing the game since you level faster) 1000 hc each (or $20 to skip potential hours of chores, sorry I am a bit biased), 4 maps that reveal the hidden locations of items on your ingame map (note you still have to go to the place and get them, you just pay to know where they are) 300 helix each, 8 melee weapons 250 hc each, 1 bow 250, 3 alternate horse looks 500-750 each, 6 ship cosmetics 250 each, and two ship lieutenants 350 each. Like I said earlier, someone did the math and buying everything in the microtransaction store is roughly $393 USD. If you read this far, I would really like to hear your fresh perspective on all of this, I tried to stay relatively neutral, and I gave two almost polar opposite examples so there are many games in between these two, but I know I am biased heavily against the ACO type of microtransactions.

[@Darkstar.....]

Trick with the sonic tank. They shoot at the maximum range like rocket launchers. But they attack one extra square beyond it with area effect if you attack ground at the maximum range just one square before a missile turret or missile launcher and they will still do damage beyond the max range and remain safe. Missile launchers do the same but the chances of firing beyond that max range is random. Also the missile launchers are useless at short range. So to use missile launcher turrets you need walls or machine gun turrets between them and the enemy to keep the distance. In many ways the missile launchers are more friendly fire then helpful.

[@MrZazobanec]

Warning! Missile approaching! :-DDDD

[@alxxz]

Yeah that was one of my nightmares playing this as a kid back in the day at the later levels. It might have been random, but it could pack some serious damage and level half your base to the ground if it hit the center of the structures!

I remember in this game there was a cheap trick I made up for House Atreides I always used. You didnt orignally have control over the ornithopters, even when you build them. They just kind of randomly swoop down and drop a bomb on the enemy. I would spam build these as they would reveal and map out the enemies base before I even explored there.

[@aceshighdueceslow]

I prefer the way the orniphopters work in this to Dune 2000 because they were guaranteed to hit targets until they get shot down, as opposed to 2000 where it's basically just the airstrike from Command & Conquer, so the amount of damage is situational

[@jdcool80]

Ornithopters would attack enemy until first then enemy buildings. I would save one at 99% construction and unleash it just before a massive enemy attack. There were no ground to air attacks back then

[@something451]

1 - waste of time 2 - wrong

I recall squashing enemy troops with the harvesters, and also blowing up the enemy harvester, anyone else remember that ?

[@brianr8750]

I remember when if you played this on a computer without enough expanded memory the game would sound like crap. The moment we added the 2 mb of memory it sounded so freakin awesome!!!

One of the first RTS early Command And Conquer

[@Supperdude9]

Ah, the question. The anti-piracy measure, where you would have to answer something about a unit or structure you couldn't know at that early stage in the campaign, but the information was in the manual. I still remember that.

Just the idea of the worms coming horrified me enough to only watch older siblings play xD

[@MultiLimpet]

I remember hacking the level files to make the final level more difficult. Also gave the attreides a sandworm unit. And made a small base with the yellow faction.

Dune 2000 is one of my favorite games

[@rancidiot]

I beat this hame over the weekend as a kid. I remember firing warheads into the fog and reloading/ save when I heard buildings explode

[@sasarasasarasa]

Ahhhh so many memories...

[@SandsOfArrakis]

Unable to create more. Unable to create more. *Memories indeed*

[@Skyscraper2015]

I remember driving over the infantry with my harvester.

[@tanjeerg]

And the bugle sounds.....

[@creamyhorror]

Listening to this now, All Your Base music was actually very similar to it. Guess I've loved fast electronic music in various forms all my life.

[@u.sprotectionsecurityservi2945]

I would spend hours playing this on the sega genesis, Thanks for sharing !!!!

[@schutzemk2811]

[@QuadDerrick]

[@infinitechase5479]

That is hilarious how that "Invisible Trike" destroyed an enemy structure at 3:14:38. I couldn't believe how long he went unnoticed LOL!

[@TheGreatIndoors1979]

1:33:12 _"Friendly fire!"_

[@dartnero9662]

I m 31 y.o. Dune2 was my favorite game.

Помню, как проведя бессонную ночь в сражениях, я порылся в каталоге игры. И обнаружил там файл сценария. Какие враги когда нападут, боевые единицы. И сделал так, что, скажем, на третьей минуте у меня высаживается три моих танка. Ну и так далее. Играть стало легче и быстрее :)

The very first RTS in my life
