Since Dune is a RPG/Strategy game and the games you mentioned are RTS, I hardly think you can compare them. And I would still say that Dune is superior, especially over Dune 2000!

I just love that game. How many hour did I spend on there... I still remember the first time I won... what a feeling !

Just for me to now : did anyone ever managed to find ALL the sietches and villages on the map ? Despite all my efforts, some parts of the map staid desperately blank...

I did like two years ago, while I was replaying it.

I used walkthrough to get all of them. :blink:

I can't gather enough spice for the second or third shipment to the Corrino bastard ( the emperor ) any advice ???

thats one of my most favotite
the cd version rocks a lot more...

The 1st time i try a game of that sort and i have problems?Cant find more than few villages and Jessica tells me to go to the desert alone,walk and let it penetrate me,what does she means?Also when in a region spice finishes it wont be replaced and now most of my 8 troops have very low moral and wont do anything.I also cant find Kayns and Stilgard,any advice?

Walking in the desert: walk away from the palace, into the desert at night. About three "steps" away from the palace should be enough.
Wait until the sun rises. I don't remember completely, but I think you'll then get a vision.
It also works in broad daylight, but then you'll loose consciousness, I don't know if there isn't a random factor that perhaps would cause you to die?? So doing it at night might be safer.

To find Stilgar: talk to Harrah (or was it Hannah?). She'll say she remembers a sort of fremen leader, but she's forgotten his name.
Then go talk to the naibs of the 3 sietches you've found early in the game. One of them will tell you the man you're looking for is Stilgar. Then Harrah will remember where to find him. Follow her instructions then.

After you've found Stilgar, you should try to be alone with him (tell Harrah to stay at a certain place, and take Stilgar with you to the next room). Then talk to Stilgar. He'll tell you he wants you to meet someone. This will be Chani. Later on she'll speak about her father (Kynes) and explain where to find him.

Feel free to ask for more hints, I don't want to spoil the game by typing all I remember here. Though there's been a walkthrough circulating on the net, which should be enough to get you through the whole game.

One tip I'd want to add: if you can plant vegetation, don't do it in rich spice areas: plants will destroy the spice. Choose poor areas south of Harkonnes fortresses. The vegetation will grow further north, significantly lowering the Harkonnen's spice mining.

May the spirit of Muad-Dib be with you

yo people, i remember buying this game when it came out back in the day on my like windows 3.1 muck, something was wrong with my cd or something so it couldnt save LOL, i beat it in one sitting althought it took me a good 8 hours great game, dling it now to relive my childhood fun looking for good games like this email me @ menaceofri@netzero.com if you know any

Well... No doubt about it... Dune is a *GREAT* and even revoulutionary game (for it's time).

I still find the storyline good (and true to the book), but it's the same every time you play (Then again; no-one can expect all games to be as great in variation as Fallout 2). Letting some time pass between playing it solves this

One of the greatest things about this game is the music, and what we don't get here with this download - which you will get with the original CD-version - is a fully featured soundtrack playable for any CD-player (non-PC).
Allright, it's a bit nerdy to put on a computergame soundtrack when you friends drop by, but I do believe that it still makes it a good reason to buy the original from eBay or the like...
