The art of not playing games

[Edwardo Piet]

Me too. Just a bit of trivia.

And Monkey Island is a great game too

Don't you just love waiting for your resources to build up?

Ever played Dune?

Nope.

Not seen that one before.

It's old... DOS old. But, for the time, it had all the eye candy available!
And it's quite a good book-based game. If you know Frank Herbert's Dune, you'll find many old acquaintances and the story will flow a bit like in the book.
Also, giving orders from a distance is actually part of the story and is something that develops with your character... unlike other "games" where your orders are transported by light-speed ghosts.

It's the first ever successful RTS, really. Pre-C&C.

Could you be thinking of Dune 2? That's the one that was the real precursor to C&C.

Oh right were you linking the Adventure game?

Yeah I was talking RTS so I assume you meant the RTS one.

Yep that's Dune II. Played it till I was sore...

[Edwardo Piet]

I've still not played Dune II yet.

Hey Alex... did you know Red Alert is legally online for free now? + all expansion packs? Me and Poca have been playing it online!
