About Open Dune 2
A faithful browser version of Dune II, the 1992 Westwood game that set out what a real-time strategy game looks like. It plays like something from 1992, which is either the appeal or the problem depending entirely on why you opened it.
How to play
- This is real-time strategy in its original form: gather resources, build a base with them, and produce units to fight with.
- The version here is presented as authentic to the 1992 original rather than remade.
- Expect an interface from before the genre's conventions were settled.
Tips
- Do not expect modern conveniences. Selecting units and giving orders in a game this old is slow by current standards, and fighting that will spoil the visit.
- Treat it as a historical document first. For a competitive session almost anything newer serves better, but for seeing where the genre started this is the shortest route.
