Brief Description:
This is one of the first of the newer, and very popular, computer war games by Westwood Studios. It was named Strategy Game of the Year in 1993 and its success has led to the creation of similar designs, such as Command & Conquer. In this game, you can play either House Atreides, House Harkonnen, or House Ordos. Your mission is to harvest spice and remove the other Great Houses from your territory through the use of your family's special weapons. Be careful on the open desert, though. If you're not careful, your armies may get swallowed by a giant sandworm!
