Hi, I loved Dune when it first came out and have been in mourning till I found your site. I have attempted to down load the game onto an XP system but things are not going well! DOS screen appears then just disappears.
Have read various site notes and links but this just provides more reading and no direct help.
Is there a link that will give me basic “step by step” instructions on how to get the game playing?
Or anywhere that I could purchase it in CD form?
Any help would be appreciated.

Only that your PC might start turn itself on during the night and downloading porn onto itself.






:bleh:
Fooled ya!

The only side effect would be that you'd end up spending an inordinate amount of time on games more than a decade old. Which isn't really a bad thing IMO.

Use DosBox to run the game. You can download it here, and a newbie guide can be found here .
