Dune 2: play the strategy classic in your browser now, for free

Posted by apspu on January 7th, 2013

After 20 years in the desert, Dune 2 is back on PC. Ported from an open-source diablo 3 gold ersion of the game, the pioneering RTS – which laid the foundations for games like Starcraft 2, Total War and Command and Conquer – has been faithfully recreated in HTML 5, so you can play it in your browser without handing over a single grain of spice. Or any real money.

If you fancy a quick blast of nostalgia, or you want a history lesson about the formative years of RTS during your lunch break, the game’s right here.

It’s a faithful port of the original, so controls are understandably fiddly (using the map to scroll around the screen is a nightmare), and visually my HD pampered eyes found it tough to track the smudgy little Harkonnen soldiers hiding in the sand; but the actual strategy still holds up pretty well.

I haven’t played it long enough to tell whether or not the game still cheats by awarding itself extra spice, nor have I had a glimpse of 20 year-old space worm. Nonetheless: the sleeper has awakened! source: pcgamer
