Is it still worth playing?
Westwood Studios' 1992 real time strategy game for MS-DOS, later on the Amiga and the Mega Drive. You harvest spice, convert it to credits at a refinery and build units, with buildings placed only on rock and on concrete slabs. Fog of war lifts permanently once an area is explored, sandworms swallow units, and a world map lets you pick missions. Three Houses have unique units and Palace superweapons, and there is a tech tree. It was not the first real time strategy game but the archetypal one, which established the format, and the harvest, build and attack loop it set out is still the template later games followed.
