Guest Duke_Killersiil Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 ???Will dune 2 run on 486 with 16 ram? I got it for my little brother and he wants to play dune 2 on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 sure, it will even run on a 386, and i think you'll only need about 1 mb of ram... perhaps 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 286 is enough. But you need 1 MB extended RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timenn Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 I used to play DuneII with someone who had a 286. It ran fine there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caid Ivik Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Abandonware? And I was sooo trying to buy it. Nowhere it was, nor regular shops nor secondhands. For seven years of seeking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year, 7 years after release! Everything is possible, just you must have hard will ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 well... dune 2 is a tad older... it is at least 10 years old now... Mechwarrior 2 actually had 3d graphix, not to hard to come by.Dune2 is also possible. I bought it also 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Dune II won't run on Windows ME if you have the sound turned on. It stopped at the exact same moment for me, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Driver problem. I'm not sure if it's the fault of win ME or your soundcard. I think you have a SB Live! and since he uses an emulation program for DOS applications this may give some problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 I played Dune II even on a 8088. It ran VERY SLOW, but it worked! yeah, i played it all the way with House Atreides, House Harkonnen. Did not finish Ordos back then..

I have an SB PIC64, which has tons of driver issues under Windows ME even with the latest updates. And Windows ME is just generally DOS-unfriendly. Actually, I'm surprised it runs Dune II at all, so I'm not really complaining... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terror Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 hmmm win2k is the newest version of windows NT, but i don't think that it is build on DOS, like win 95/98 is and also NT till 4.0 i guessConclusion:Win2k has close ties with winME and may give the same problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terror Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 well, you can ofcourse install both win2k and win98.one for standard use, one for dune2 ;) but it will be easier to just install DOS 6.2 i think (dunno if it works though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
