Mega Drive Longplay [468] Dune: The Battle for Arrakis (Part 1 of 3) Atreides
Played by: Reinc
Emperor Frederick IV of House Corrino is desperate for the harvesting of the valuable drug melange (also known as “the spice“ ), found only on the planet Arrakis, to pay off all of his debt incurred on internecine wars with family members. To achieve this, he now offers the sole governorship of Arrakis to whichever of the three Houses (Atreides, Harkonnen, and Ordos) delivers the most spice for him. War begins as deputations from all three Houses arrive on Arrakis.
Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty (retitled Dune II: Battle for Arrakis in Europe and Dune: The Battle for Arrakis for the Mega Drive/Genesis port respectively) is a real-time strategy video game developed by Westwood Studios and released by Virgin Interactive on Jan 1, 1992. It is based upon David Lynch’s 1984 movie Dune, an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science fiction novel of the same name. While not necessarily the first real-time strategy (RTS) game, Dune II established the format that would be followed for years to come. As such, Dune II was the archetypal “real-time strategy“ game. Striking a balance between complexity and innovation, it was a huge success and laid the foundation for Command & Conquer, Warcraft, StarCraft, and many other RTS games that followed.
The Mega Drive/Genesis port has fairly different building and unit graphics, a full-screen menu-less user interface suited for gamepad control, and no save game support, relying on passwords for accessing each level. Other additions include a music test option and a tutorial that replaces the mentat screen. Several ideas from this version, including the music track listing and the replacement of sidebar command buttons by a context-sensitive cursor, were used in Westwood’s next strategy game, Command & Conquer.
Played as all Houses. I didn’t go for the most efficient way to win and instead tried using house-appropriate strategy in each campaign. The beginning of the Atreides campaign has the intro and tutorial, the end of Ordos campaign contains cheat codes. -
