Dune II: Battle for Arrakis, known as
Dune: The Battle for Arrakis in the US, is a strategy game developed by
Westwood Studios and published by
Virgin Interactive for the
Sega Mega Drive. The game was also translated to German as
Dune II: Kampf um den Wustenplaneten.
Battle for Arrakis is a complete overhaul of Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty, a DOS/Amiga game released a year earlier. The Mega Drive version features streamlined controls, gameplay tweaks, new levels and an entirely new set of graphics. Dune II is considered a milestone in the real-time strategy genre, though was bettered by Command & Conquer a few years down the line.
