Let's Play Dune II #47 | Harkonnen Mission 2b
Kill everyone... just like everyone else.
Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty is a real-time strategy Dune video game developed by Westwood Studios and released by Virgin Interactive in December 1992.
The game is also known as Dune II: Battle for Arrakis in Europe and Dune: The Battle for Arrakis on the Mega Drive.
It is mostly based upon David Lynch's 1984 film Dune, an adaptation of Frank Herbert's science fiction novel of the same name.
While not necessarily the first real-time strategy game, Dune II established the format that would be followed for years to come.
As such, Dune II is the archetypal RTS game. Striking a balance between complexity and innovation, it was a huge success and laid the foundation for Command & Conquer, Warcraft, StarCraft, and many other RTS games that followed.
Dune II takes place in the distant future on the planet Dune, the only source of spice melange in the Known Universe.
Spice is needed for interstellar travel, and whoever control the spice, controls the universe.
Three noble houses are fighting over Dune and its spice: The noble Atreides, the sly Ordos, and the malicious Harkonnen.
