    This game could have benefited from 6-button Control Pad support, but it doesn't have. Almost everything is done with the A button.

    Erik was curious about this, so I tried launching it, and was surprised to find that it was a Genesis port of Dune II, which actually played pretty well. The music is a bit annoying, it sounds like an FM approximation of instrumental rock. I very much prefer the ambient pads of the Amiga version. I ended up completing the first mission, getting the password: 'Diplomatic'.

    I beat the two first missions using Harkonnen, but I got annoyed with how large the grid placement of my troops is, and the lack of consistent auto-targeting by the units. There is a lot of micro-management, and it's not very fun using a control pad.
