Thumbs up

Ordos is a house made by Westwood Studios isn't it?. I mean... Did Frank Herbert (or his son) write about Ordos?

Exactly, the Ordos didn't feature in Herbert's books (unless as one of the nameless houses in the Landsraad). Plenty of sites on the net telling the history behind the creation of House Ordos.

Exactly, even just googling for "history of the house ordos" (without quotation marks) links to it first

I have read all of the Dune books series and played all of the games. And I can say that this is the best of the Dune games I've played
The CD version of the game has extra cutscenes from The Dune movie k:

I have to tell you that I've read this entire forum back and forth a million times and I finally got the music to work but not the speech. When I go to the mixer I can't click on the speech or voice, whatever it's called, volume fader because it's not available and I don't know what else to try. I've tried everything i've read on this forum and nothing. Can anyone put a step by step detailed, nice and slow, manual on how to get the speech to work?

I can't remember playing this game with any sound at all...
Must be me then.

I didn't download what I think is the full cd version of it off of abandonia, I think the one on abandonia is the original text version with only music, I downloaded it off http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?gameid=345

For some weird reason when I try to run the dune.bat file the screen just goes black and stays there. But when I run I think the dune.exe the game runs fine with music but no speech. Can't adjust the voice fader in the mixer menu. Here are my specs:

Windows XP Pro with SP2
Gigabyte motherboard with onboard sound card

I'm getting fustrated with trying to make it work from downloading online so I'll probably just buy it off ebay or something. THIS IS ANNOYING!!
