About Dune

Dune is a 1992 video game, based upon Frank Herbert's science fiction novel of the same name. Developed by Cryo Interactive, is the first of the Dune computer games. Dune blended adventure with economic and military strategy, and is considered by many the most immersive Dune computer game. Loosely following the story of the novel, the game casts the player as Paul Atreides, with the ultimate goal of driving the Harkonnen from Planet Dune, while managing spice extraction, military, and later, ecology through the native Fremen tribes. As the player progresses, his troops are equipped with weapons from "crysknives" to atomics, tap into Paul's latent psychic powers, and get acquainted with such characters from the book as Chani and Liet-Kynes.

Sega CD prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A strategy-adventure with film footage that split period reviewers between admiration and boredom.

This is the Sega CD version, a mix of the Amiga version's graphics and the extras of the PC CD-ROM version: snippets from the David Lynch film, voice acting and new rendered travelling animations. Cryo Interactive developed it and Virgin Interactive Entertainment published it, in North America in December 1993 and in Europe in January 1994.

Reviews pulled in opposite directions. Sega Pro called it a great CD release, a futuristic quest with plenty of strategy and some novel, well-built sci-fi ideas. Game Players found it an audiovisual extravaganza whose heart was a straightforward, overly linear adventure that was not much fun.

What the press said at the time

MegaTech Issue 26	February 1994	73%
Sega Pro Issue 34	July 1994	91%

“For fans of the films and books, the clean execution of the FMV sequences will have you drooling at your console, with the Dune characters brought to life through crisp movement, digitised speech and faultless lip-synch.”
— Mega Drive Advanced Gaming, January 1994

“Although Dune has a great story line, high-powered graphics, and some sweet sounds, the game play is a weight to the overall game play. Dune has bright spots, but it'll make you thirst for more.”
— GamePro, January 1994

“If you like your strategy titles tough and head-hurting, you'll probably find Dune too simple.”
— Sega Magazine, February 1994

“These are well done sequences, which use the sort of echoing, warping effects you expect from a movie.”
— MegaTech, November 1993

Before you buy

Among North American Sega CD games this sits above the middle. A loose European disc usually costs about the same as the US one and a complete European copy usually costs less, though it needs a European Mega-CD. At that price, a look at the printed disc and the inner ring is still worthwhile.
