Dune 2000 hits the PC Market

by MATT WILSON

"Dune 2000," a multi-player game that was long anticipated by gamers, is a strategy game that was taken from two sources.

The movie "Dune," made in the early 1980's and the original game Westwood produced, "Dune 2," made "Dune 2000" what it is to gamers today.

"Dune 2000" combines a promise made by an insolent Emperor to three houses, House Atreides, House Ordos and House Harkonnen. Each of these houses have different thought processes, different technologies, and different advantages. It is the player's choice to determine what they want.

As gaming improves and develops, there is one problem that would keep arising. Most newer games require a lot of video ram capacities. At times, my computer has even skipped when playing an eight-megabyte video clip. Imagine what a four or two megabyte video card would do with such graphics. That is my only complaint: Those who are not keeping up with technology are being left in the dust.

There are many benefits to this game. Superior graphics and superior video design, and multi-player possibilities that can connect you across the world, make this game an awesome choice for any player. Build a world, survive against the simulation, destroy your enemies, conquer Arrakis.

All of these key elements, make Westwood's "Dune 2000" an awesome and very popular choice for any gamer out there. If you can support good games and you have modern gaming technology on your PC, then it's time to bite into one of the best games out there, "Dune 2000."

You tell 'em "concerned" and Whim staff members. How can we ever expect new and better software if the people who create it can't expect to get paid for their work? Would you like to work every week of the year and then have someone withhold your paycheck Warez?

Sneaky, Maybe before "borrowing" you should remember that a couple thousand people rely on the profits of dune 2000 to provide them with food, shelter and healthcare.
