Developed in the 16-Bit gaming era, Dune II might not have been the first ever game to incorporate real-time strategy elements but it is the game that crystallised the genre and as a result, paved the way for games like Command & Conquer and a fantasy themed RTS title you might have heard of, by the name of Warcraft.

The game was developed by Westwood Studios and was originally released by Virgin Interactive for DOS in 1992. It went on to become a massive success with ports to the Amiga, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and the Acorn Archimedes.

Well, if you missed it the first time around or fancy revisiting an old favourite, thanks to the OpenDune project the entire game is available to play online. Oh yeah!
