Synopsis

Westwood Studios' Dune II received a major overhaul for the Sega Genesis, featuring new graphics, streamlined controls, a revised tech tree and completely new levels while retaining its core concept.

Players control one of three Houses sent by the Emperor to mine Spice Melange on Arrakis, winning through a series of consecutive battles by gathering spice, constructing bases and building units to attack the enemy.

The original game's complex menu controls have been replaced by a context-sensitive cursor that lets units automatically move or attack based on what lies beneath it.

The tech tree has been simplified: Among other changes, concrete slabs are only available in the 4x4 size, there is only one type of vehicle factory and the advanced units do not require an IX research center anymore.

Finally, the progression of levels in the console version is strictly linear, as there is no choice of the next map to be played as in the original version.
