I played the first and second Dune games only. I love the soundtrack
from the first one. Dune 2 was my first RTS. It probably was for many
I suspect.
You could probably just have posted this over in .action ;) No real
need for separate groups nowadays. There isn't enough of us posting
anymore. :-P
I've played them all, but the original remains the most memorable to
me, for exactly the same reason: its soundtrack was fantastic. Dune 2
did have that awesome intro though.

Oh boy that intro. I watched it over and over back in the day. It
really impressed me.

Beyond that, I never cared much for the gameplay of any of the games.
The original game's mix of strategy and adventure left both halves
feeling half-baked. Dune 2 of course invented the modern RTS, but even
for the day it was very rough around the edges: the core concept was
solid but its implementation was poor. This was corrected by Dune
2000, which just revamped the controls and graphics to modern
standards, but by then we had "Warcraft" and "Command & Conquer" and
"Total Annhilation" and God knows how many other RTS franchises, and
it again got lost in the crowd. And Emperor dragged the franchise into
3D, and it was so ugly that it pretty much killed the series ;-)

We should just collapse the hierarchy and start posting in comp.sys.ibm.pc.games; no .action, no .strategy, no. adventure, no
nothing. Just .games, like the net-gods intended. I never was in favor
of the split anyway ;-)
Oh god, and the fly-by through the desert. It's a shame this game
wasn't much fun to play, because its production values are /still/
impressive too this day. Unfortunately, this was a problem Cryo
Interactive (the developers) never solved, because many of their next
games - Megarace, Dragon Lore, Lost Eden, Aliens - all suffered from
the same problem: they looked amazing but had awful gameplay.

Hehe, MIDI! :D I wasn't crazy about the original Dune game, but loved
the RTS games.
