Story:
Dune is a 1992 video game, based upon Frank Herbert's science fiction novel of the same name. Developed by Cryo Interactive, is the first of the Dune computer games. Dune blended adventure with economic and military strategy, and is considered by many the most immersive Dune computer game. Loosely following the story of the novel, the game casts the player as Paul Atreides, with the ultimate goal of driving the Harkonnen from Planet Dune, while managing spice extraction, military, and later, ecology through the native Fremen tribes. As the player progresses, his troops are equipped with weapons from "crysknives" to atomics, tap into Paul's latent psychic powers, and get acquainted with such characters from the book as Chani and Liet-Kynes.

I remember playing this game as a kid at my uncle's, using his computer, he had this game installed. I instantly fell in love with it, remember flying the ornithopter for the first time, and the animation. Later I read the book, installed a copy of the game on my own computer, and finished it. I wished it was longer, but playing as Paul Atreides, visiting the sietches and starting the melange production while defeating the Harkonnens was definitely fun! One of the first games I finished.

I still have the original boxed edition with the additional audio CD. This game covered so many awesome genres and is one of those games that shows some creativity right before home gaming took off. Story, adventure, strategy - it's got it all, and of course that killer soundtrack - that you had to play seperately in a CD Player because of the technology limitations of the time. Genuine gaming history.

I played this after watching Lynch's Dune and the influence it had on its visuals is striking. I didn't get the politics at all back then but greening a desert as a part of the gameplay always has stuck with me as a surefire way to get me interested in a game. Personally I prefer Lynch's version over the new one, there are so many memorable scenes in it. Compared to the new one where I couldn't remember a thing if my life depended on it. Granted that's probably because I never watched the new ones but that's besides the point.

I know video games. I know the best video games. And let me tell you about Dune, the 1992 DOS game. It's tremendous. Really tremendous. Many people are saying it's one of the greatest strategy games of all time, maybe ever. Frank Herbert's Dune is bigger than ever. The movies are breaking records. The books are selling like crazy. The timing has never been better for bringing back this game. It's all about timing, and the timing is perfect. And let me tell you about this game. It's like nothing else. It blends strategy and adventure in ways nobody had done before. Nobody! It's got the spice mining, the Fremen, the sandworms - all the good stuff. Westwood Studios made it, and they knew what they were doing. Great people, very talented. So GOG, if you're listening, make the call. Negotiate. Do the deal.

It was my first approach with Dune Saga and I've amazing memories. It was a great experience for the computer at time to play a game with such graphics and sounds. I've played on PC 286 for the first time, than recently on an A500.

Dune was my very first Video Game. I loved it so much and it would be a pleasure to be able to play it again. After playing it, I watched the film - the original one with Sting - and I read the books.

Wait! That is not on GOG? The wonderful weird French Dune? It has some of the best chiptune music. I preferred the game play to the parallel Westwood OG RTS. We need this and actually an install choice between the CDROM and normal version.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
