Most similar game to Dune 2 is Emperor.

Emperor is basically an update of Dune 2. Think Dune 2 10 years later and that's pretty much what Emperor is.

Although Emperor does have a ton of gameplay bugs/omissions/errors that Dune 2 never had. ie: you can only make one type of unit from your factory and barracks at a time, even if you have 5 factories. most unlike Dune 2 :( the only improved thing Emperor did to the Dune 2 formula was to take out the "pavement" factor.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure that Dune 2000 is more similiar than Emperor Battle for Dune.(even if it is a remake)

Dude, you don't correct Nav. Just let him belive what he wants. ;)

Try WarCraft. The whole series is basically Dune2 with magical crap. :)

warcraft is NOTHING like Dune 2. plz don't take that statement at face value. warcraft has a demo, dl that and see for yourself if you must, but for the love of God don't buy it thinking it'll be like Dune 2 (unless you played the demo or something first) 'cause it's not at all

I would say that starcraft is alot more like dune 2 than warcraft. Being set in the future and all. But you should get Warcraft 3 - excellent game.

Arohk, I meant WC1/2, if I had meant WC3, I would have said "WC3". ::)

[Anathema]

And somehow I doubt a demo for WC1 is still available ;)

Demo for WC 1?GO to http://www.dosgames.com/cgi-bin/dl.php?filename=http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/demos/war1demo.zip

Well Warcrsft 1 is available for purchase in Britain.

well that's obviously dune2000, considering that you have the same buildings and unit there.

Warcraft and starcraft is nothing like dune2000... they're both RTS games... but that's where the similarities end
