This was my favorite game, looking forward to watching the video

Absolutely love this game. Played it from beginning to end on the PC multiple times over the decades. The original floppy version that is, not the poncy CD version he's using! 😂
Watched this the other day, it's a good watch if you like lgr and/or have an interest in DOS strategy games. Personally I'd like to see more games experiment with hybrid game styles like this one did.

My inner dialog reading that title.

Edit - lol never mind, read the title wrong. Thought some new Dune game was coming out "32 years since the last one"

  I played the Mega Drive/Genesis version when I was a kid and it hooked me so much that I rented it several more times, it was a great game. I always wanted to play the first one too, but I didn't get to actually play it until a few years ago, awesome game too, maybe better than Dune 2 for me.
