This clip is produced in a way that looks like it could be some sort of mechanical beast out of Dune! Man, that guy running probably shat his pants being in there with that ceiling!

I mean, she speak the lines well and all, but just production values. At one point she even blows into the mic and it's really, really clear "woosh". I mean, couldn't they have done another take? Were they in a hurry to go the the strip club or wtf?

Emperor was a more bold game, which tried to do a lot of things. It was one of the first 3D RTS games, which pretty much killed it for me, not because it was ugly, but because it freaking killed my PC at the time. The story was much more true to the book in that one too, with different houses and factions.
Dune 2000 was a straight re-make of Dune 2, but with the lessons they'd learned from C&C and Red Alert, ie. it was great.

This was a really good game. Does the intro narrator have to speak so slowly though? It sounds like she has a nailgun nail in her frontal lobe.



I didn't like Dune 2000 that much. It wasn't bad.

So old Dune2ers, did you try http://drackbolt.blogspot.com/ yet?

GREAT game. The first excellent RTS, paved the way for a genre. If you never played this, you missed out. The game was actually much deeper and well done than this trailer lets on.
You can get a freeware, modded version of the game here (but I can't vouch for it):

I really miss them too. I loved the Kyrandia games. I was REALLY into adventure games back then, and very recently I bought back a Legend of Kyrandia III: Malcolm's Revenge copy I had sold


Ah, I couldn't get into those adventure games, text games, etc.

>> ^EMPIRE:

Yes I did actually
I liked Emperor. But nothing replaces the original. If nothing else, for that feeling of nostalgia you can never recreate.


Ditto. I finished it too. Dune 2000 was OK too. I laugh at Dune 2 now because it is SO old. I love Command & Conquer (excluding Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 3, and C&C4) too. I miss Westwood Studios!

>> ^EMPIRE:

this is definitely a classic. I loved this game. And this is one of the best cinematics ever done IMO. Westwood had in general really good cinematics.


Speaking of EMPIRE, did you play that version?

>> ^gwiz665:

I really wanna put this in vintage.
Quality!

Dune 2 lovers, check out http://drackbolt.blogspot.com/ ... I haven't tried it, but it looks radical/rad.

I also like Dune very much. One of the great sci-fi classics for me.

And Sean Young in that tight fitting still suit? Upvote!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Count me in for Dune as a great movie.

I agree - Dune is ace! One of the Sci-Fi classics from my childhood.

When we were younger my brother and I would always hold the other one down and say the "A little spittle..." line as we goobed in the others face. Thank you David Lynch!

I wonder what it's made to this point. Sure it cost 45mil but only made like 20mil in the box office, but since then? VHS, rentals, DVD, Blu-ray, digital, TV? That shit has to add up after a few decades.

Your video, Sean Young home movies on set of Dune with David Lynch 1983, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I actually think Dune was a great movie.

Dune was, and still is awesome.
