Dune, a really nice strategy game sold in 1992 for DOS, is available and ready to be played again! Also available on Amiga, time to play a sci-fi / futuristic and licensed title video game title. Dune is a 1992 video game, based upon Frank Herbert's science fiction novel of the same name. Developed by Cryo Interactive and published by Virgin Interactive, Dune blended adventure with economic and military strategy.
Description of Dune
A neat adventure/strategy hybrid from Cryo, this game casts you as Paul Atreides, the protagonist in the classic Dune series by Frank Herbert.
Although the game is fairly linear, there's enough strategy elements to keep things interesting: you must allocate your followers (the native Fremen) to various jobs, maximize spice production, and ultimately fight the Harkonnen with armies. Also features stunning VGA graphics depicting passages of time. Easily one of the most graphically stunning games ever made, and one of the most unique. Recommended!
Note: The download here is full CD-ROM version, complete with video clips from David Lynch's movie based on the book, and full speech. You can also download the smaller disk version if you want :)

I love the game but I am sad that I can't hear anything. No voices no music. Of course if you play it in french, the music is there. Is there any updated way to get music on the english version?

Loved the original game

FYI there are no real sound effects, just music. Dune2 has some sound effects.
I wasted 30 mins trying to turn them on lol.

Simplemente magnífico, me encantó este juego. Lo jugué allá por 1994 o 1995, y me encantó, y después volví a jugarlo varias veces más. Es mi juego favorito junto con 'Monkey Island'. ¡Qué tiempos aquellos!

I am astonished that I have not seen this game before, in all of my retro gaming life. This soundtrack is blowing me away. It alone makes this a must-have for any DOS gamer, as it pushes the YM3812 chip to its absolute limits. I know that chips limits, as I'm a musician and use it quite often in chiptune works.
Stop reading this and download Dune already!

Author: Christian Zeitnitz. Main features: The PC based Soundcard Oscilloscope receives its data from the Soundcard with 44.1kHz and 16 Bit resolution. The data source can be selected in the Windows mixer (Microphone, Line-In or Wave). The frequency range depends on the sound card, but 20-20000Hz should be possible with all modern cards. The PC based Sound card Oscilloscope receives its data from the Sound card with 44. You may want to check out more software, such as Virtins Sound Card Oscilloscope, Parallax USB Oscilloscope or Agilent Infiniium 548xx Series Oscilloscope IntuiLink Waveform Editor Add-In, which might be similar to Soundcard Oscilloscop. Sound card scope software. AUDio MEasurement System is a free oscilloscope software for Windows. This oscilloscope software comes with a signal generator, spectrum analyzer, and frequency response measurement tool. During testing, I found out that it didn’t take signal input from the sound card, but from USB mic. PC Oscilloscope software is a curation of 17 resources about, Virtins Technology, Cleverscope - The PC USB mixed signal oscilloscope, Baudline signal analyzer, ZScope, USBee. Resources listed under Oscilloscope category belongs to Software main collection. Oct 16, 2014 Note: Sadly, the Sound Card O-Scope software is only available for Windows machines; in all my searches I was unable to find a Mac version. (Perhaps I should write one for my Mac and send it out!) Step #8: Software Use — 60Hz Comparison. The features in the software are surprisingly robust. Not only does it provide support for two.
This is a very good game. Every DOS Gamer must play this.

A great game.
Amazing atmosphere & graphisms (for that time). A great musical score, that was published as a music CD, I still have it.
As far as the strategy goes, the game is not hard nor complex. On my first try I failed because I built my armies too slowly and was killed by the emperor troops (failed to deliver enough spice). On the next try, I easily slaughtered the computer.
It is interesting that you can win by using water and destroying the spice but I only managed to do that once, almost by accident. It seems that winning by fighting is much easier. But I may have missed a tactic..

INSTALL.EXE modifies COMM.BAT and not DUNE.BAT.
Setup the game and DOSbox to use Soundblaster and run COMM.BAT.
I think this floppy version is better than the CD one.
Licurg2013-06-300 point DOS version
@ackool: If you want the sound, you're gonna have to download the CD version of the game, also available on this site, just type in 'Dune' in the search bar and you'll see it.
ackool2013-05-102 points DOS version

Salut a tous.
Merci pour cette charmante version. J'y avais joué à l`époque sur Séga CD. Il y avait des dialogues audios. Les Frémens ne sassait de dire d`une ton un peu loufoque: Notre activité est d`extraire l`épice.
Est-ce qu`il existe une version avec des dialogues audios?
Merci.

One of the best, and one of the first DOS games I've played. Been years. I had no internet or walkthru back then, but I managed to finish the game on my own. Probably the first RPG-ish game I've played too. Well I hope the enhanced version, Dune CD, could be found here soon. I don't know or can't find any official patch to the floppy version, I'm thinking it had only one release version. And probably DuneCD is of higher version number since it is an enhanced edition afterall. Thanks, Chief.

I even think that Pauls mom doesnt look too bad..lol

Actually, there is a high replayability, because you can attack the Harkonnen from different regions, with different results. Also you can use ecology or skip it altogether, and certain events may or may not take place depending on the pace you play at.
And Chani looks much better than Harrah, my opinion:P
JOM2012-03-280 point DOS version
It is quite a bit movie (Lynch's movie from eighties) like game. Personally, I would tell book was better, but it still great game/movie. Re-play value is not high, there is more or less nothing new. If you never play - try.
The only strange thing - Harrah looks better than Chani.

One of the finest strategy game of this time,still rocks.
