This game seems almost exactly like C&C. I don't know who riped off who though but in either case the things that you rarely see in Dune 2 are in C&C red alert.

1. There is a monster (red alert has tornado) that can INSTANLY KILL YOUR MEN!
2. There is a ballistic missle that can inflict heavy damage (all sides have it. But in C&C regular NOD is the only one to have that. Ion cannon doesn't count)
3. Annoting infantry can be ran over (Via tank crushes some guy)
4. Your units automatically attack when a hoostile target enters attack range (unpatched) and just sit there. Regardless if they are being shot.
5. Infantry can't hit an air target even though they have rifles that could posibly be shot in the air
6. terrain has no value in both games. high or low.
7. both require harvesting of some sort of material
8. And no this is not a rip off of another game because THEY ARE MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY!

And funny story about dos box. All the games run fine. It's just dos box that doesn't work.

Well, Dune 2 sort of spawned most of the genre, put it on the map.
You can consider C&C as a follow-up of Dune 2. Just like most games in this genre still have a lot of ties with Dune 2.

Speaking about harvesting, I always thought it was quite ridiculous that every map in Dune 2 so easily ran out of spice. After all the whole importance of the planet is that it's a vast source of spice, so it's not logical that the last levels tend to boil down to a 'last man standing' fight because all the spice has been used...

Yeah I agree. C&C came after Dune 2 (I checked, might be wrong). But in C&C they changed it so that it doesn't always have to be a 'whoever mined the most and has the most efficent units wins" kind of battle. Because resouces grow back. C&C has tribirillm which left over a while can grow back into more. And Red alert has a ore wells. But I AM NOT SAYING RED ALERT C&C OR C&C IN GENERAL IS BETTER THAN DUNE 2! Sandworms are annoying....

Dune2 was actually made by the same company as command&conquer, so you can call it C&C 0.

Wait. Doom and wolfenstien are made by the same company? Are they really? Dune2 and C&C are made by westwood. So what are doom and wolfenstien made by?


Sandworms are just to tough...

While we're at that, you could also say Doom is Quake 0

[font=Trebuchet Ms] what I do is I make multiple hi-tech factories and send in swarms of Ornithopters. From Scarrior the III

How do you make i that far? I mean, how to make ornithtoptor factories before the opposition nukes you? I have tried everything (not that creative, coz I am old!!) to get past the level where ornithopters are available and get nuked every time...
