I know the second is the groundbreaking one, but I always had a soft spot for this one.

And while Dune 2 laid much of the initial groundwork for early real-time strategy games, I highly advise anyone from current times who is interested to play Dune 2000 instead. If you ask me, the original Command and Conquer (same developers, Westwood) is the actual genesis of the modern RTS, and Dune 2000 is built on the Command and Conquer engine and is this significantly less clunky and irritating to actually play.

And it’s got John Rhys-Davies in the cutscenes. You can’t really go wrong there.

I mean … Warcraft Orcs & Humans came out before c&c

Warcraft, especially the first one, was quite archiac compared to C&C.

Command & Conquer released 2 months before Warcraft 2.

No one is arguing which game came out first. I didn’t say C&C was the first game. I said C&C was the first one to nail the modern RTS format, and because of that I think Dune 2000 is a less irritating game to play from a modern perspective than Dune 2.
