The original Dune II was a classic real-time strategy game released on the Amiga and MS-DOS. It later appeared on the Sega Megadrive and Microsoft Windows.

Developed by a team of enthusiasts and experienced programmers, Dune II - The Maker is an open source remake of the game that runs natively on Windows. While other Dune II remakes are direct ports of the original, The Maker was created from scratch. It includes the original engine as well as modern improvements. While this game may not be as polished as the original, it's a worthy contender. Here's the scoop on the game's current state:

The game is largely similar to Dune II in many ways. It uses the same gameplay mechanics, but adds modern features, including multiplayer, PvE, and more. The game also introduces a lot of changes, but keeps the same overall atmosphere and provides a whole new set of units. The game also includes a single-player campaign and numerous improvements to the graphics and gameplay. If you're new to Dune II, be sure to check out this free version.

The Building of a Dynasty is another interesting feature of the game. You start with a construction yard and a mobile construction vehicle. This vehicle gives you access to other structures in the area. Building is possible only on rocky terrain. To create a sturdy building, it's important to place a concrete slab under it. Buildings without a concrete slab will start with half health. Wind traps can help generate electricity, but the lack of them will slow the production of all units and will ultimately damage the buildings.
