Dune

vezner I would also LOVE to see this released on gog.com. It will be an instant buy for me when they get it.
Madgriffin I actually did a master degree on Frank Herbert's Dune. So yeah, I will buy on release for sure - especially since it's really the very first game I played on PC.
selmixxx Dune 1 on PC had fantastic adlib soundtrack, probably the best adlib soundtrack ever.
GumBoy1979 Did PC version have MIDI or sampled music like the one for Amiga? <br /> Because the soundtrack is amazing, I wouldn't want to play it with some MIDI equivalent.
SA_Avenger Dune 1 is still an unparalled experience since, no game like that with a mix of gameplay element, I'd buy it day 1
Feydakin A million times this game, with the voice packs! I am a HUGE fan of the Dune universe, and this game was so amazing for me. The nostalgia! Even though it was very simple in many ways, it was so much fun!
hanshan PS all my tech notes will probably make GOG's work a LOT less, so if GoG can get distribution rights for it, the Win 7 and 8 dosbox & sound tweaking time is already done for you, ha ha.
hanshan GoG get it please!. Everyone, I posted music and tech notes extensively below 2 months ago... Be sure to tweak dosbox settings for MUCH BETTER SOUND, if gog has not already done so, if they ever distribute it digitally for us.
##@@##@@ CD version, or it's animations actually felt out of place. I remember disliking the orni animation of the viewed terrain etc. But if GOG gets the rights, I think both versions can be included. So, for me, Floppy version is the one. Anyway, a game to look for, even today. Great mix of genres that actually works pretty well, creating great atmosphere for those, who can appreciate it.
Kjellboy Hope they can make the entire franchise available. That would be AWESOME!
mingle101 One of my favourite games of yesteryear...
Fortuk A classic. Having both the floppy and PC-CD versions available for download would be wonderful.
Thunker French version !
Blake00 Yes the CD rom version of Dune 1 is just brilliant (better music, animation, videos) and should be on GoG!!
Soure_of_Truth fuck, wrong game
Soure_of_Truth Best Star Trek Game to date, I hope the Star Trek publishing deal includes this game :-)
3noneTwo The PC-CD version of this 1992 title is a great adventure/strategy game, especially for its time. Loved its music, and I was surprised by its voice acting and lip-synced animation. It'd be incredible if Stéphane Picq's "Spice Opera" Soundtrack album could be released alongside Dune.
jacek909 I'd love to see Dune on GOG.com, too. As to soundtrack nothing can beat CD released "Dune: Spice Opera" - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF_0W1cYPYo" class="light_un" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF_0W1cYPYo</a>
remmun Love this game, actually I was surprised it was not on GoG when I looked for it.
BaxterVern +1
seacnnct This would be awesome to get with the soundtrack recorded to mp3 from a real Adlib gold. The soundtrack is pure gold! You can here it here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUfGyfbzl9k" class="light_un" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUfGyfbzl9k</a>
Hostralspecific This was one of the games that got me into PC gaming way back when. It's also a legitimate piece of gaming history that deserves to be archived and experienced by future players. You guys need to get the rights for this, the vote count on this speaks for itself!
metalbunny Think I posted in this ages ago, but I'll post again. The original CD version of Dune with the voiceovers was one I had to pass on because we didn't have a CD drive, just like most people when the game came out. What I do remember from playing the floppy version was however an awesome game with great music. Would love to hear what my THX system can do for that soundtrack.
rdnhhs Yeah. This game is a must to have. Best game before Command and Conquer.
Lamprey319 Absolute diamond classic, would buy this in a heartbeat. C'mon GOG!
Miss-paran0ia I totally love this game since my childhood! It's a sad that next to nobody even knows this masterpiece. When you talk about Dune, everybody says how grand 2/2000 were but when you mention Dune 1 everybody is like dazzled that there actually was a Dune 1.
jaxom140 I loved the original Dune game and would love to see it here. I cannot wait for it. I would buy it from anyone that had it available.
hanshan OMG listen to the Dune 1 sound track with the MT-32 physical output, it's amazing - posted on youtube: <br /> "Dune (Roland MT-32) 1/2" and also there's a second part 2/2 <br /> Ponytear posted them. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sicsAugI-k" class="light_un" target="_blank"><br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sicsAugI-k</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXJBMIs-sA0" class="light_un" target="_blank"><br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXJBMIs-sA0</a> <br /> <br /> Had no idea the sound in older games could be/was originally so incredible. <br /> <br /> While you're at it, check out this tutorial by beigemore of exactly how to set up a MT-32 with Win 7 64 pc. Note again how fabulous the sound is, - he uses Ultima VI for the example. Wow. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcXBZwKhqi4" class="light_un" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcXBZwKhqi4</a> <br /> <br />
Khalzaam Need this one on GOG too ! <br /> And please, make an OSX version of this jewel :)
hanshan Dune 1, tweaked again and it seems great. Am putting all this here because it may help someone; beause I often refer to gog discussion forum for tech tips on tweaking old games. <br /> <br /> Googled around some more because the music in map sounded distorted and the map was very blobby <br /> <br /> Used <a href="http://www.grandgent.com/tom/dune/dunemp3s.htm" class="light_un" target="_blank">http://www.grandgent.com/tom/dune/dunemp3s.htm</a> mp3's page for sound comparison to aim at. <br /> <br /> Increased cycles up to 18000 which appears to have helped everything a bit (picture blobbiness decreased, animation better, improved sound clarity) <br /> Chose dualopl2 instead of opl3 because it sounded better - I read that the CD version of Dune used that, whereas floppy used opl3 (www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=31494) <br /> Set sampling rates for opl and mixer at 49716 becuz it appears to sound better than 44100 which some say is physical max for sblaster so I dunno. <br /> <br /> Sound is now VERY much improved and game animations run better. <br /> Finally gone is an awful flat-twangy metallic distortion in "Water of Life" and the other map music. <br /> Settings changed from my earlier entry are: <br /> <br /> [cpu] <br /> <br /> cycles=fixed 18000 <br /> <br /> [mixer] <br /> <br /> rate=49716 <br /> blocksize=4096 <br /> prebuffer=30 <br /> <br /> [sdblaster] <br /> <br /> sbtype=sb16 <br /> oplmode=dualopl2 <br /> oplemu=compat <br /> oplrate=49716 <br /> <br /> [speaker] <br /> <br /> pcrate=49716 <br />
hanshan PPS - If you like ambient electronic game music, don't judge the game's soundtrack by in-game, which is ok yet compressed per PC's of the time. Mixed results reported from trying VDM Sound or MT32emu with Dune under dosbox. To really hear the music, find "Dune - Spice Opera" on youtube - there's a very good game recording with physical Roland MT-32 Ad Lib Gold, or better yet, elsewhere online you can find a flacc of the original full Spice Opera soundtrack CD by Stephane Picq ("Exxos") which is not available physically anywhere anymore. Much more rich and nuanced details can be heard. Look for posts by Cloudschatze on youtube or Schroedson on soundcloud. See also excellent review description by Rimo at <a href="http://vgmonline.net" class="light_un" target="_blank">vgmonline.net</a> . Dune wiki says that EMI holds rights and has no plans to sell or release... silly I think, since retro gaming AND ambient electronic music have been undergoing resurgence of popularity lately.
hanshan PS Edit: making fullresolution=1024x768 reduced the blotchies somewhat on building exterior and the global map. Wish this was professionally re-rendered for modern screens, sigh.
hanshan Would love if gog released Dune I. It is an adventure/strategy hybrid and mouse-driven, friendly interface with good art. I have both floppies and CD; CD has voiced dialogue and was the first game on CD, to introduce animation, to introduce rendering improvements, and to introduce western strategy game concepts. Dune ii is not a sequel but a competitive effort. <br /> <br /> Dune I is not abandonware, as some surmise. <br /> (And I WISH whoever owns it, perhaps Anuman who bought Microids who bought Cryo's assets, would re-release Dune I as a remaster, then license it to GOG for digital sales!) <br /> The original soundtrack "Spice Opera" by Stephane Picq (Exxos) is an excellent ambient electronic work, it is incredibly rare CD worldwide, but can be found digitally online... ought to be re-released. <br /> <br /> I was able to get it running in dosbox (vanilla .074) with the following settings (but would rather have a turnkey, tuned-up version by gog). The settings is the best compromise for keeping details while smoothing jaggies that I could arrive at. <br /> <br /> am not listing here the default settings I kept, just what I changed. <br /> <br /> Set autolock=false is because I personally don't like the mouse cursor sticking inside window when I shift out to windowed mode. <br /> Used fullresolution=0x0 - means the actual screensize (whatever it is for your machine). <br /> Set windowresolution=800x600 instead of screensize, only because that's what fixed the game's windowed mode on this machine; any other setting made the bottom edge of the window either get trapped to the bottom of the desktop and/or the window's bottom edge was under the desktop edge which cut off the game's movement arrows & bottommost area. Normally with DosBox games, you can set windowresolution anything including up to your actual screensize. <br /> With vanilla dosbox, direct3d is not a valid parameter, but ddraw works great with this game. <br /> Best graphical settings combination to keep visual details (not oversmooth) while minimizing pixelation and jaggies, was this combination: output=ddraw with scaler=advinterp2x - also aspect=true to maintain 4:3 ratio. Didn't need frameskip. <br /> Sound is sb16, opl3 & compat. Not using any external pc speakers with this laptop. <br /> Set Tandy, Disney, GUS and joystick off because they are not needed or present, so save the resources. <br /> Game seemed a little slow on default cpu cycles, so I tried fixed 10000 and this seems to run nice and smooth. <br /> <br /> [sd1] <br /> <br /> fullscreen=true <br /> fulldouble=false <br /> fullresolution=0x0 <br /> windowresolution=800x600 <br /> output=ddraw <br /> autolock=false <br /> <br /> [render] <br /> <br /> frameskip=0 <br /> aspect=true <br /> scaler=advinterp2x <br /> <br /> [cpu] <br /> <br /> cycles=fixed 10000 <br /> <br /> [sblaster] <br /> <br /> sbtype=sb16 <br /> sbmixer=true <br /> oplmode=opl3 <br /> oplemu=compat <br /> oplrate=44100 <br /> <br /> [gus] <br /> <br /> gus=false <br /> <br /> [speaker] <br /> <br /> pcspeaker=true <br /> tandy=off <br /> disney=false <br /> <br /> [joystick] <br /> <br /> joystick=none <br /> <br /> <br /> The Dune 1 bat file is needed to specify machine info and is set like this (it in the DUNECD folder under DosBox's folder MSDOS/DUNE): <br /> <br /> @echo off <br /> D: <br /> DNCDPRG AMR ADP220 SBP2227 EMS 386 SAF WRIC:\DUNECD\ <br /> <br />
gamesfreak64 The first one on game? <br /> The adventure one? i think i have it it came in a blue carton box <br /> ncie game, never got to finish it
MarcoTTC Despite not being very faithful to the book (or any adaptation of it for that matter), it's a very fun solid adventure game, worth many game hours, with one of the most beautiful soundtracks i've heard in a game.
ansionnach Loved this game. PC floppy version was great. Not a fan of the CD version with grainy FMV from the awful film and rather naff-looking "3d" pre-rendered graphics replacing some beautifully-done graphics and sound. Agree that the adlib soundtrack was awesome. Synthiness suited this game!
tfishell I created a thread over at <a href="http://DuneNovels.com" class="light_un" target="_blank">DuneNovels.com</a> asking the Herbert Properties people to talk to GOG and EA about re-releases - <a href="http://forum.dunenovels.com/viewtopic.php?t=3807" class="light_un" target="_blank">http://forum.dunenovels.com/viewtopic.php?t=3807</a>
##@@##@@ @NightK: This would be the 2D Adventure game released by Cryo, not to be confused with the 3D "Frank Herbert's Dune" released several years later by the same company. <a href="http://www.moredz.com" class="light_un" target="_blank">www.moredz.com</a> is awesome, the other one sucked.
sturm532 Still have the Cd Version but i want it on GOG for my colllection and every ones elses..
MrMajestic One of the greatest soundtracks ever. Would buy this game.
THECOYOTE99 This was so good. Still think the Sega CD version has slightly more polish though. <br />
siril I discovered this game on my Amiga 500, and the game took so much ram that it freezed a lot... And also, the music !!! One of the best on video-games. Listen to DUNE - A SPICE OPERA cd, it's just ... wow....
Petruccio Dune is the cornerstone. It turned me into a computer gamer :-) <br /> I still want to play it, still want to return to that good old glorious day. The day when I discovered this masterpiece of Cryo.
MasterS.249 There definitely should be more Cryo games (Dune included) on GOG!
obiken Dune, Dune2, and Emperor Battle for Dune, would make GOG some money.
XzavierHyde I remember this being one of the best gaming experiences I had on my old Amiga. The soundtrack was pretty much the best I had heard in a computer game at the time, and the game itself was beautiful and compelling, if a bit easy. Please please bring this to GOG. The regular version AND the rare CD version if possible. And the soundtrack. Don't forget the soundtrack. :) <br /> <br /> (And could someone PLEASE ban the spam bots that seem to have taken up residence on the wishlist.)
Shendue Yeah, Dune was brilliant. Dune II was a great game in every respect, but Dune was simply magic. Greatest soundtrack ever.
Treehugger Dune II really needs to be here. We used to go to Westwood for magic before Blizzard started sprinkling fairy dust.
newromantic I'm glad to see I'm not alone in loving this game. Many hours were wasted on it in my younger days. I'd gladly waste some more days on it if it were offered.
Risingson The best game from Cryo, the best adlib soundtrack ever made, and a good companion to the novel. One of the few games I play every year.
