hi! I used to play 'Dune: Battle for Arrakis' published by 'Virgin
Interactive' on my Sega console many years ago. I really miss it and
wanted to see if you know where I could download the same old game
perhaps turned into its PC version. (or through an emulator perhaps)

Please note that this game is different from the originially-for-PC
'Dune 2: Battle for Arrakis', and that the game was made some time
around 1992 or 1993.

Thank you!

"The planet arrakis known as dune"

Great grand-daddy of RTS, its actually Dune 2 on the PC (Dune was
nothing like Dune 2)

You can get it here:

if you google: dune 2 abandonware
youll find it that way too

Thanks jw239, but as you said this game is Dune 2, not Dune.  I've
already downloaded Dune 2 but the graphic resolution is much lower
than Dune and it's not really as much fun.

Interesting how there's really no place on the web for downloading the
good old Dune game...

Please help out...  Thank you.

Thanks for everyone who tried to help.  It's just amazing how many
different versions of dune are out there and that everyone who sent a
response referred to a different version.

I did some Google image search to find some screen shots of the game I
originally had in mind so you would know exactly which Dune I'm
talking about. Also, (my bad) the year the game was published is 1994
not '93.

The link to some screen shots:

I'm pretty sure you'll all love "this" Dune a lot more than other versions.

Thank you again everyone!

God bless you Nat!  That's it! Thanks...

One thing though... would you know where I could get the Rom's for
let's say Sonic  or Desert Strike?

Again, thanks man!

Actually, I thought each emulator has it's own ROM file format, but it
seems like they're all the same.  I went to coolrom.com for Aladdin,
Sonic, and Desert Strike.  God bless them it was painless and free
(unlike other rom sites)
