Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty

The Good
In a word - WOW! Sure, nowadays that we got Command & Conquer, Warcraft, Starcraft and whatnot, Dune 2 might pale in comparison - but it started it all! Yes, folks, this was the FIRST real-time strategy wargame. The name Dune 2 might be misleading, as it has nothing to do with Dune 1 (which was first and foremost an adventure). You've had almost everything - different units and buildings to build to your heart's content.

The Bad
Well, you've had ALMOST everything. The two most annoying non-features were: a) no group-attack mode (when you have to tell 20 units individually to go attack something it gets tiresome) and b) no unit experience.

The Bottom Line
Fun all around - however, nowadays there are so many more advanced clones in the genre, so only the collector or Dune lover should go out of his/her way to acquire a copy of it. It's definitely worth a look for historical reasons, though. I was blown away when I first got it in '92 or '93.
