So, fun bit of trivia on regards to growing crops on Arrakis. If you have a sietch directly south of a Harkonnen stronghold and start growing crops (remember that vegetation always spreads North), you can make the Harkonnen just up and leave. They're only there to harvest Spice, and anywhere there's plants, there's no Spice. So you'll send troops to the stronghold, and the Harkonnens will have abandoned it.

In the house I grew up, the family computer was in my bedroom. I would be asleep late at night, and awaken to the sounds of my Mother playing this game on our old AST Windows 3.1 PC. The music was unmistakable, and still to this day, I remember it. But, I also had a fair number of nightmares because of the game, because of those freaky looking Harkonens, who absolutely terrified me as a small child. Still... it was always funny to know my mother was obsessed with beating the game, and spent hours playing it, just like I am now when I play more modern games.

6:45 "I'm your mother, Jessica."
Thanks for reminding me, mother. Now if only my father could present himself...

Ecology was actually tactically interesting.
Because the plants destroy spice reserves and always propagate north you can defeat the harkonens by starving them off resources.
All you need to do is cultivate plants directly to the south of their settlements. It also makes your fremen more effective because they're all loyal to you once you start terraforming.
I always used to use this method in the endgame as a kid. It changed the vibe of those last couple of hours of gameplay... but also I'll admit that 12 year old me liked roll playing as a teraforming hero who had more peaceful ways to shape the known universe.

I talked recently with Stephane Picq. According to IMDB there is a short easteregg in the new Dune movie. Gurney Hallek plays a short melody thats the Intro music to old Dune game.
Stephane was unsure if its exactly HIS music, but I think its at least very close. Would be a nice reference by Villeuneuve

There have been a small and vocal number of us who have been championing Cryo's masterpiece over the decades. It did RTS before Dune 2. It's a real-time adventure game that's fully-voiced. It had an open world with a day/night cycle and recruitable companions. It was absolutely marvellous both from a technical and gameplay perspective. And it deviated from the original book AND the film of the same name!

I played this when I was probably 4 or 5 years old and got freaked out when I accidentally walked into the desert and died, that cutscene scarred me lol
