#Introduction

UnDUNE II by Paul Nicholas (Liquidream)

A demake of "Dune 2" - in PICO-8

itch.io
@Liquidream Great looking game. Is the actual PICO-8 file avaiable at all (I've got a Ambernic 351MP I'd like to play it on).

@DoIAveTo Thanks. I've just made the raw .P8 carts (all 12 of them!) available for download (been meaning to do that for months!) πŸ˜‰

Would be interesting to know if it plays ok on your device (especially if you're not running official PICO-8 build) as I used many tricks to squeeze in the code that other ports of P8 don't play well with. πŸ˜‡

@Liquidream Looks great to me, downloaded with a donation. I just wish I could work out save game on this version of Pico-8 πŸ˜€β€‹

@DoIAveTo Yup, looks great - good to know! Enjoy πŸ‘

WOW, thanks for the donation - much appreciated! πŸ˜ŠπŸ™
(FYI, the game saves your progress at the end of each level, just not mid-level πŸ˜‰)

@Liquidream wait i remember that game from my childhood! so cool

also, itch background art is a complete delight!!

@egordorogov Thanks! 😊

@Liquidream wow their art is so good! but i also like how it combines with yellow fonts and game aesthetic
@Liquidream I remember when i had to delete another game to make room for the 4 floppies of Dune 2. Such a tremendous game. And you gave it a very interesting new feel.
@catraxx Yeah, good times! Aww thanks a lot. πŸ˜ŠπŸ’Ύ
@Liquidream I love the little Dune 2 πŸ˜€ Reads incredibly well despite the tiny resolution.
@pekkavaa Aww.. thank you very much! 😊
