Brief Description:

This is a DOS-based CD-ROM from Virgin Games. The story line follows rather closely to the actual story line, but there are significant differences. Also, it is rather easy to win the game. Regardless, the graphics are very nice. In the game you can wander the sands of Arrakis, fly an orinthopter over its massive dunes, and even ride the great Shai-Hulud! As you do so, you must harvest spice for the emperor, train your Fremen troops, battle the Harkonnens, and irrigate the desert planet.
