Dune is based on the legendary Frank Herbert novel and movie adaptation
which goes by the same name, while introducing interactive elements to the gameplay.
The game in itself is a strategy/adventure type of game, in which you play the role
of young Paul Atreides, the son of Duke Leto. The Emperor has sent you and your
house to the desolate desert planet Arrakis (Dune) in order to manage the
extraction of the most precious substance in the entire universe - the Spice. From
this point on you will have to rally the native Fremen people as a working force in
the extraction of spice, as fighting force in your endless battle against the
Atreides' natural rivals, the Harkonnens, and eventually as ecologists in the quest
of making Dune a habitable world. Throughout this adventure you will discover
secret, unnatural forces you never knew you had, find your destined love and
discover the truth about the nature of the planet's huge killers, the Sandworms.
A year later in 1993, it was one of the first floppy games to be converted to CD
format, which included footage of the David Lynch movie, and highly improved,
3D-rendered travelling and location screens.
