Dune II

dont know what triggered it...but this game just came to mind for no reason when i was about to sleep last night...DUNE II

the very first RTS game i actually got hooked on and completed...and that was like way back when we were still using DOS man...wooo...seems so bloody ancient hor...

here we have the 3 houses which we could choose...house atreides, ordos and harkonen...
i can still remember how sud harkonen's house specific units were with the devastator tanks and it's palace's ICBM-deathhand...hohoho...atreides had the sonic tank which made funny noises when it fired a sonic boom...i think ordos had to lousiest special unit (in terms of damage wise) with the deviator tank...

hoho...look at the map man...look at the patch of spice...the extra red patch means got more spice there....hoho....so nostalgic siah...money to build structures and units came in the form of credits which had to be earned thru spice harvesting...everytime your harvester comes back to your refinery the credits meter will start to roll like a jackpot machine...

which brings to mind how slow the harvester units are...always a good target for sandworms...but somehow still fast enough to maneuver around to squish infantry units like bugs though...

got a sudden urge to play this game liao...anyone still got this classic?
