Dune

Cryo Interactive Entertainment, 1992


A game based on the award-winning Frank Herbert novel series of the same name; Dune casts you as Paul Atreides, son of Duke Leto Atreides. As in the novel, Paul and his royal family have been sent to the planet Dune to protect the innocent Fremen inhabitants from the evil Harkonnens and to ensure the production of the spice that cures illness and prolongs life. But you are more than a child of royalty, as it is your destiny to become the Kwisatz Haderach, the universe's Supreme Being and savior of worlds. The game is divided into three chapters and each is comprised of both classic adventuring and combat. The point-and-click interface is very intuitive and the sound and graphics are quite good for the era. Highly recommended game.
