MrFlibble Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Well, the cover art is official, but then again, it could have been an unauthorized copy after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvi Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 It was released 17 years ago, I'm not sure the legality is an issue these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 It was released 17 years ago, I'm not sure the legality is an issue these days.I think he wants to know if it is an original version, and not some pirated version. Most likely looking for a "collectable item" and not some knockoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Well, the cover art is official, but then again, it could have been an unauthorized copy after all.I doubt it is original. Because I think it is a scanned version of the box art:<see download link now>I know my dad has a Dune II of HitSquad and that has neither a nice cover of Dune II.And what about this?:http://www.arrakis.co.uk/jpg/dune2sm.jpgAll in all, I believe there are several box arts. The martkplaats link though looks like a printed and folder piece of paper to me.Edit: made download link work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tezcatlipoca Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 As to the original post, I don't even see the item in the market place anymore but... for those curious, I believe there was a thread a while back with all the Dune II covers. But I can't seem to find it. Anyone know where it is?I still have the cover of the version I had, with the infantry observing the burning wintrap, posted earlier in the thread.

Tezcatlipoca Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Ah I see. Well, my box cover definately says nothing like that. I couldn't tell you about the CD insert since mine was on floppies, but I'm willing to bet you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
