Hi there,
I'm a big fan of Dune. I played it for the first time almost 15 years ago on my old 386. Never finished the game, didn't know how.
I just found Abandonia.com about a week ago, and was happily surprised to find the game available for download. I've been playing it for a few days, whenever time permits, totally love it. Still have a long way to go on the game. So far, I've restarted about five times :crazy:
As many of you have indicated in the forum, I'm having problems with the sound, don't know what the problem is. I've tried DOSBox, but it hasn't helped. I've heard about D-Fend and VDM Sound, but don't know how to use them.
I just did a online search and found the CD version of Dune available for download at
some other place The link will take you to the download site. I've tried it and IT'S AWSOME! It's the first time ever I've heard the music along with the game and the voices are so cool! I think it plays a little slow, maybe it's just me, don't know.
For those of you on the last stages of the game, below are some tips I found online, it's from a walthrough written by Beno Jange, available at
www.gamefaqs.com
When you send your spy troops you'll get these information:
- "Looks like there're no Harkonnen troops around"
The enemy troop has left the sietch.
- "They might be dangerous Muad'Dib ..."
The enemy troop is equipped with krys.
- "They ARE dangerous Muad'Dib ... AND they've got arms, indeed."
The enemy troop is equipped with laser guns.
- "Armement is impressive here. We can see that ... well trained, too"
The enemy troop is equipped with weirding module.
- "Muad'Dib, We've got here the toughest Harkonnen, armed to the teeth"
The enemy troop is in expert level and possibly equipped with atomic
weapon.
Have a great DUNE time, and
the Harkonnen!
