Nyerguds Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Okay. Nice for you...so, what exactly are you trying to ask or tell?(Also, Westwood's Dune II really wasn't really in any way a sequel to Cryo's Dune) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErasOmnius Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I remember being at the University for 30 hours straight in the same chair playing Dune II in the early 1990s, even though I had graduated years before. Everybody in the History Dept, playing Dune II or Civilization I, at 2 am in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feda Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Dune 2000 was my first RTS. I remember when i was around 8-9 and had no idea what is RTS; i didn't know that u need more than one wind trap otherwise you go in low power. Also in practice I didnt know u can deploy MCV. I was thinking u have to kill enemies only with the starting units and i was like "wtf how do they get bases" LOL.Nice memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3M Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Dune 2, and I had no manual. I was 12 years old.So, it was a "big" surprize when I got my first siege tank. I thought, that combat tank has been blown up like a baloon :D.I really took my time doing the missions. Always 3 refineries. And I never changed that kind of tactic.

Davidu Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 my first games ever were Cryo's Dune and Wolf3D... good times indeed, and Prehistorik II hahahahaha amazing :D that was around '92 I think. Dune 2 I found it at some relatives and I was mesmerized. Then Dune2000 came by and it was amazing. I remember the fuzzy feeling i got every time i discovered a "new" game. Like Doom after Wolfenstein, Heroes III after Heroes II. yeah, the good old times of childhood: Diablo, Duke Nukem 3D, Heroes 2, Doom, Descent, Wolfenstein, Age of Empires, Settlers, Quake, and many many more awesome games. the good thing was that there were never 2 games of the same type, each was unique. Even if you compare Warcraft (1) with Dune 2. Anyone remember Beneath a Steel Sky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnovice Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I played first Dune 2 for Amiga Version, while all my friends had got a PC (386, 486, etc), I had an Amiga 500 with no HD :) the charm of playing a game of 5 floppy disks with 2 drives and changing every times the disks.

Nyerguds Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Heh, wow. Our Dune II was a pirated copy my brother brought home from school. Our parents, both fans of the original books, loved it immediately, and everyone at home ended up playing it to death. (Seriously. If that game were multiplayer, my mom would've kicked some ass in that back in those days :P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnovice Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 What incredible experience playing the same videogame with their parents.. comparison of two generations! I admit that I never thought it :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
