[REWRITE] Dune-PC-Spiele: Dune & Dune II (1992)

from ReWrite ReBirth · host Soenke Scharnhorst

Dune (1992)  1992's Dune from Cryo Interactive/Virgin Interactive blends adventure with strategy. Loosely following the story of the 1965 novel Dune and using many visual elements from the 1984 film of the same name by David Lynch, the game casts the player as Paul Atreides, with the ultimate goal of driving the Harkonnens from the planet Dune and taking control of its valuable export, the spice. Key to success is the management of spice mining, military forces, and ecology as the player amasses allies and skills. Dune II (1992)  Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty, later retitled Dune II: Battle for Arrakis for the Mega Drive/Genesis port, was released in December 1992 from Westwood Studios/Virgin Interactive. Often considered to be the first "mainstream modern real-time strategy game", Dune II established many conventions of the genre. Only loosely connected to the plot of the novels or films, the game pits three interplanetary houses — the Atreides, the Harkonnens, and the Ordos — against each other for control of the planet Arrakis and its valuable spice, all while fending off the destructive natural forces of the harsh desert planet itself.  Dune 2000 (1998)  Dune 2000, a 1998 remake of Dune II from Intelligent Games/Westwood Studios/Virgin Interactive, added improved graphics and live-action cutscenes. Though gameplay is similar to its predecessor, Dune 2000 features an enhanced storyline and functionality. Emperor: Battle for Dune (2001)  Emperor: Battle for Dune (Intelligent Games/Westwood Studios/Electronic Arts) was released on June 12, 2001. A sequel to Dune 2000, the real-time strategy game features 3D graphics and live-action cutscenes, and casts players as Atreides, Harkonnens, or Ordos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_based_on_Dune

Near Death Absolut Absolem You ignored the warnings. The river pulled you, comfort deceived you, and now you stand at the threshold no one ever wished to reach. Fragments Of Madness is not just a track — it is a descent into the labyrinth of thoughts, where silence speaks, walls have eyes, and rebirth waits beyond chaos. “GENERATONAL BREAKER” Daniel Ray Some people are born to follow the path.But some… are born to break the path,clear the fields,and rebuild the whole foundation for everyone coming after them.This song is for the ones God chose todismantle the lies,undo the damage,and rewrite the story that generations before them carried like chains.Yes, it’s heavy.Yes, it’s lonely.But when you are a curse breaker,your spirit is built differently.Your strength is inherited from heaven,not from history.This reggae meditation reminds you:you are the one meant to riseso that your family can finally breathe.Wealth, clarity, discipline, freedom, power, and peace —it starts with you.This is not just a song.This is a declaration.A spiritual assignment.A generational shift in rhythm form “ALREADY DEAD (FINALLY ALIVE)” Daniel Ray “Already Dead (Finally Alive)” is a spiritual-warrior anthem for the awakened.A roots-reggae meditation on rebirth, liberation, and rising beyond illusions.This song speaks to the ones who died to their old self…the ones who walked through fire and came back with clarity, power and purpose.It’s for the souls who refuse to be controlled.For the minds that broke free.For the hearts that resurrected.You can’t kill what has already been reborn.This is the sound of awakening. Making Modern New Orleans Justin A Nystrom Every drama deserves a good backstory. For New Orleans, this narrative takes place during the "long 1970s," a time when political transformation, cultural rebirth, and urban reimagining revived a fading port city. Hosted by historian Justin Nystrom and journalist Jack Davis, each episode of the Making Modern New Orleans podcast explores how the city we know came into being through first-hand accounts of the people who made them happen.
