The Dune RTS Series (Dune, Dune 2: Building of a Dynasty, Dune 2000, Emperor Battle for Dune)
Added by
karasutono Mostly I just want the Dune set for Dune 2: Building of a Dynasty. (10 of 10 IMHO) www.youtube.com/watch?v=tppjzT-su0Q
I remember it for being an excellent game with 3 playable factions based in RTS with several resource management stats. You can chose from the noble House Atriedies, the insidious House Ordos, or the evil House Harkonnen. The mission of any of these is the same, harvest the spice, overthrow the planet and push off the ursurpers who aim to thwart your rise to power. Something like Command & Conquer but in a much earlier format. The maps, resources, and tactics of these games were unforgettable and I really miss them. I'd love to see them all on Gog, and would buy them right off should they ever pop up.
The games are based around the 1980's movie DUNE. A pretty good flick if ever you see it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld2DMsyy0go
As for the game : A good product of an excellent company(Westwood) which won't let you down. Westwood was well known for their 90's games never disappointing.
Shai-Hulud!
austinwcraig I still want to play Dune and Dune 2.
Reznov64 Classic Westwood games, absolutely need them.
Asgerwyrtz yes add these games please
Refty It would be great if these games were added during the premiere of the movie. It's great if these strategies are on sale: Dune II, Dune 2000 and Empire Battle for Dune
omhomh123 I also miss these 2 games, I really wish they can be available soon. They remind me of the Good Old Days

EMPEROR:: Battle For Dune
This game i still have it on Four CD's in a DVD box and i once bought the game at a secondhandstore only it was just the install cd ...
but anyway your best bet is to keep tabs on sellers of the complete cd package of install cd atreides cd , harkonnen cd , ordos cd, and the cd key...
go look at places secondhand stores garage sales media stores dealers in older games who sell online and /or the streets....
or find another source
its out there yes it is ..
I would love to ad the Dune games to my Gog games lists and have it all on my hardrive and soon to get mega online storage .....really Biiga Megga Storage we need Nobs and Gogs ....W40k
I would also would like to have the assets released from all games and tha art ment for in the games or just concepts that ar related ..
And that ReForged /Remade/ made better and Differently with wide ranges of wiorked on games ..and sourcecodes get released for the games...
And That Boss Herbert or who ever those people are that they let us pc and macos and linux users let us have our piece of spice and
Coe and software and everything that comes with this ..and that they release assets andf code and sourcecode for a sereies of dune sponserd games hell a group could even rebuild the games more to book context so without the Ordos

jorlin @leondz, thank you for this sad quote. Yes, we can dream but if those in charge of the works of the creator of the book series every game was based on are against you, there is little hope. “The people who can destroy a thing, they control it.”
moeenm Dune 2000, I want to relive my childhood. Windows 10 compatibility is wonky at best :(
dodoguy dune 2 was epic
vilq2108 Spice must flow!
arsenal45 Emperor Battle for Dune is something I would like to see in updated version or form. The original CDs do no longer work.
122xx Dune 2000 was the best game out of the rest XD :) :)
leondz GOG tried and got shut down by the rights holders - "old things should stay old" or something was the quote. See the GOG quote here, www.pcgamer.com/gogs-10-year-journey-to-bring-old-games-back-to-life/
arkadius2 Emperor Battle for Dune is a must have for every fan RTS.
Baelius Dune 2000 will 100% buy on gog if it's in the store. I burnt 100's of hours on that game as a kid playing every side just for funsies.
artuurs You fucking idiot forgot to include Battle for Arrakis, its a better in every single way, Building of a Dynasty. Its the Doom 64 to Doom to Dune.
DifferentAlloy5 Sorry my previous post link did not work, if you search for Funcom and it's partnership with Herbert Properties (IP) upcoming Dune games you will find the articles. Hope these classic games land on GOG!
DifferentAlloy5 Here's an update regarding Herbert Properties LLC and the Dune IP that was acquired by Funcom: www.gameinformer.com/2019/02/26/new-dune-games-coming-from-funcom
SlavicViking I wish Brian Herbert wasn't too hard on Dune games, because i'd really buy the set in no time.
marcinl0 Please offer The Dune RTS Series as fantastic bundle.
Devaizter I'll buy it 100% on GOG! =)
ErkaniumXD oh yeah this was great xD the last dune game i play is emperor battle for dune and this not complete :/ in that time i have a shity pc awww
marcinl0 Why not "in progress" ?
Plok_HR The Herbert estate bans the usage of the Dune license for video and board games. Not possible.
Ritsuka781 Come on GOG there's literally thousands of us that want this series back i know ya can do it
MIGUELJUAS Estoy esperando que alguien ponga a la venta el Emperor: battle for Dune
Kilrathi89 I'd love to see Dune coming back :(
soulrick i hope Dune in GOG T_T
Ritsuka781 lets keep this going, we need to get this series on gog
Ofdimaelr Dune 2 my first time :o
SMthegamer Dune 2000 was the first game I ever played, and have loved coming back to it over the years.
A proper remaster for modern PCs rather than the Gruntmods version would be awesome.
Browomir Emperor Battle of Dune <3 I need this good old game!!! :D
Jharvest +++
DoomS243 Oh if they add Dune 2000 I'm snatching it right away!
leandrovillela To honnor the name of God Olf Games Gog really needs the Dune RTS Series
Quirinus42 I want the Dune made by Cryo Interactive and published by Virgin Interactive. I don't care much for the others (even though the other Dune is a great piece of gaming history).
This one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=klCaaBBN2Uo
It's an amazing old game with an epic soundtrack and visuals, and interesting gameplay. It's more of a RPG/Adventure game than Strategy.
Please add it, I had so much fun with it over the years, as I keep revisiting it all the time.
artuurs Dude, you forgot about Dune: The Battle For Arrakis! Its one of the few RTSes on Sega Genesis and quite frankly i consider it better than Dune 2. This game is what got me into the RTS genre and it deserves to be included alongside the other Dunes. Here, you can play this wonderfull gem now = game-oldies.com/play-online/dune-the-battle-for-arrakis-sega-genesis it looks great with great designs and even greater soundtrack from Frank Klepacki, hes so great, even the credits sound awesome = www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRzjzDbDDE4 but the actual soundtracks are epic alongside the great gamephttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h45vZm1oIjglay, please, give this game a chance, this intro is just, so legendary =
BrandeX Rule 1. One title only - don’t mention series, expansions or packs
Ritsuka781 wonder if there's any update on these games, this is like the 5th or 10th time I've seen the dune games posted and i vote every time for them.
olebrommm079 they are dl able from net and playable in dosbox, i do it. but ill by acopy on gog anytime. pls do the voiced versions. so mutch more feel then the others.
but if ther is any copyrights left on this i dont think theyll release it nomw. since thers a dune movie in the make, or just dont whjant to cuz its free online who knows. had some save problems with the dune1 in dosbox, but fixed it and now i can play it and do, but still ill bye it.
MetalGearOpz Unfortunetly, you'll have a better chance in hoping this will release in Origin than on here. I doubt EA would give the Dune series to GOG or Steam.
drwilly OpenRA (openra.net) includes Dune2000
##@@##@@ If Gog could bundle these games as a Dune Collector's set with the whole book series (including the recent additions of the lost prequel/sequel manuscripts) in PDF/epub format, the director's cut of the Dune motion picture and soundtrack - that would be awesome!
I have not seen the Dune TV series and so I have no idea if it would be good enough to add to a Gog Dune Collector's set.
Giix One of the verry best. PLEASE -_-`
TheGoldenGecko Although they chose to title it Dune 2, the original Dune is part of the series except in name. Made by French studio Cryo Interactive and published by Virgin Interactive, it's more faithful to the books (specifically, it's most faithful to the '84 movie, itself not being entirely faithful to the novels); Atreides are red, Harkonnen are blue and there are no Ordos. Though, it only loosely follows the original plotline. House Ordos was created by Westwood and introduced in Dune 2, which also brought a much more enjoyable style of RTS, being the grandaddy of all modern RTS titles. However, excluding the lack of level loading of Dune and its adventure-style character interactions -- my favorite part of the game, followed by its aesthetics in first-person and its music. It's strategy portion is a chore and a slog, however, making Dune 2's single-unit commanding feel comparably bearable. No tutorial, so you learned from the manual or as you went (my case). Having watched a fair bit of a 'longplay' of it, I've picked up on a few things, such as always arguing with the mercs over price, but only ever once. Still not sure what the benefit of sending the Emperor more spice than he asks for is, however. But I digress... to assuage the pessimism expressed in a previous comment: publishers hold the rights, not the developers. Westwood Studios no longer exist and Electronic Arts always owned the rights to this IP. There are games made by the former and published by the latter on GOG already, so I don't see how the sale of this series presents a problem in that regard. With newer releases, I can imagine reasons, but the last of these games is almost 16 years old. Which is regrettable in that we haven't gotten a Dune title so long... but better no title than disappointment. ::eyes C&C 4 sideways:: Disappointments kill IPs.
folklore185 I'd love to see these games added, as I missed them the first time around.
dudalb I don't know for sure, but I think this is another game where the game company...in this case Westwood...has lost the license for the games and therefore cannot sell it.
pug1976t It would be a great bundle to buy.
NiGhtPiSH Those games need to be saved from obscurity! GOG all the way to protect them!
archangelm127 I loved Emperor BFD in particular, but I could never get it to stop lagging. Ironically, the more power in my PCs over the years, the worse it seemed to stutter. I would pay good money for a fixed version that runs out of the box on Win10.
