English and German |
Premise: |
Abandoning the RPG take of its predecessor, this chapter in the Dune saga
thrusts upon you the momentous task of building up your own strongholds and resources
among the vast desert wastes of the planet Arrakis. No manual is required, as the
programmers thoughtfully included a tutorial mode that tells you almost everything you
need to know in order to play. |
Impressions: |
No matter where I turn, this game is in the number one slot of EVERYBODY'S
list of Genesis strategy games. It has been called the precursor of Command and
Conquer, and with good reason. Well written and well executed, this is a game
that everybody should try at least once. |
Variations: |
The original, Dune, is available in an enhanced form for
the Sega CD. The "2" in this game's title was somehow dropped in the porting
process. I list the title as it should be - not how the game displays it. |
Recommended Emu: |
Genecyst X |
