Talk:Dune computer and video games

I added the Category:Strategy computer games tag since I wasn't sure from the article if all the games mentioned were real-time. Is this the case? Lupin 13:30, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * yes, all the games are real time BUT FH's Dune (the last) isn't a strategy game. WolfenSilva

I deleted the part about the ordos occuring in the books, I can't remember any of that, and have read other sources which also say the ordos are invented by westwood. If someone knows where they occur in the books I am eager to know. --Omegium 20:26, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * House Ordos only appeard in The Dune Encyclopedia (by Dr. Willis E. McNelly, 1984). It is to be noted that this encyclopedia was fully endorsed by Frank Herbert. A Westwood developer, Marc Cram, took the name from there. Ref: . However, the Dune Encylopedia has been decanonized by Brian Herbert's Dune prequels. And no, Ordos never did appear in the novels themselves. Anárion 22:56, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * I remember a reference on Dune about the Ordos, perhaps in the Atreides' reception. ŵŞ 21:00, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Weasel words
The reason I marked this article NPOV is that there are many weasel words: "It is considered by many", "The game was criticised...", "it added enough features...avoid seeming too unoriginal". gracefool 01:56, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * If you don't like the words, just remove the sentences. They don't add much and are there mostly because there is not enough factual info on later games yet. Paranoid 08:15, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * 'scuse me? As far as it seems, most of the info here goes with most reviews (professional and amateur) and comments on the said games. WolfenSilva 09:37, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Page move change
Anyone opposes moving the page to Dune computer and video games ? Since the article grew from one game to several, I think the move is advisable. wS 20:15, 15 May 2005 (UTC)


 * I'd rather suggest splitting it into several articles.--Eloquence* 04:27, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)


 * I'd prefer the less unweildy Dune (computer games) or splitting it up as suggested by Eloquence. ··gracefool |☺ 07:27, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Appears to have been written up here, but it might still be worth a mention at this page if a computer version exists. --DocumentN (talk) 04:53, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Dune Online Games
For about 15 years there has been a DuneMud (see: http://dune.servint.com) that is set in the Dune universe. Also there is a mush (http://www.dune3.net/) that uses the Dune theme (but more of a RPG, role-playing game).

Dune generations
Dune Generations, what happened to this awesome game?

I remember hearing about this back a few years and it felt as if it was the perfect solution to a confused, or for a better word, incomplete game universe of Dune.

I don't see how anyone / any publisher couldn't see the potential of this game, especially back then!

Does anyone know what happened to the source rights, would anyone be interested in trying to revive it - if at all possible?

Let me know. Matt —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mattayers1 (talk • contribs).

Removed Dune Online
I removed the section about Dune Online, from Reenactor Entertainment, as it was merely a fan-made rp forum. LarryLaffer (talk) 09:42, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
