Dune I
This games is a production of Virgin Games, Westwood and CRYO,
They made this game in 1984 and it is great to play, especially
the visual effects are great.
In this game you are Paul Atreides, son of Duke Leto Atreides
Your job is to keep a consistent flow of spice, Dune's major
export, to Emperor Shaddam IV.
To do this, you must make contact with the few natives of
Arrakis, the Fremen, and defeat the Harkonnens
A
beginning is a very delicate time. Know then that it is the year
10191.
The known universe is ruled by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV,
my father.
In this time, the most precious substance in the universe is the
spice melange.
The spice extends life, the spice expands consciousness, the
spice is vital to space travel.
The Spacing Guild and its navigators, who the spice has mutated
over four thousand years,
use the orange spice gas which gives them the ability to fold
space.
That is travel to any part of the universe without moving.
Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, the spice exists on only one planet
in the entire universe :
a desolate, dry planet with vast deserts.
Hidden away within the rocks of these deserts are a people known
as Fremen who have long held a prophecy,
that a man would come, a messiah, who would lead them to true
freedom.
The
planet is Arrakis, also known as... DUNE
Dune II
Dune II was
the strategy-game of the year 1993.
This game is also a game on Dune, you must fight and win, if you
fail your mission, Dune is taken over by another house, this time
it's not a
game that you have to start with the Atreides, but you can choose
with which
house you will fight:
There is a new house to fight with, the Ordos, known for there
sabotage and terrorism
The planet
Arrakis, known as Dune.
Land of Sand.
Home of the Spice Melange
The Spice controls the Empire
The Emperor has proposed a challenge to each of the houses
The House that produces the most spice will control Dune,
There are no set territories and no rules of engagement.
Vast armies have arrived
Now three houses fight for control of Dune:
The noble Atreides
The insidious Ordos
And the evil Harkonnen
Your battle for Dune begins........NOW
Again a game from Westwood, but now in cooperation with
Electronic Arts, a
very strong game with a lot of strategy and even more great
graphics.
Now you have the option to play a fighting game over the world,
in the first games
your mission is to choose which side you will fight with, and
again eliminate the
other houses. Again with the Ordos, Artreides and Harkonnen.
