Around 1993 playing Dune 2 was all I wanted to do with my life as a young teenager. I really loved this game and played over and over..... wow.... I really miss those days! :-) Sometimes I watch a recorded gameplay on YouTube just for fun... and I still think the intro and the soundtrack is amazing to this day! I loved reading about how this game came together!

I suspect this game was kind of easy?

I only had the chance to play it at a friends' house, and I remember me trying to just building turrets... all the way to the enemy base. And I won with that very silly strategy. You were not able to freely place buildings so that's why I just built a thin wall of turrets all the way, expanding the fingerprint of "my" base.

This reminds me of an IRC chat of two friends who bickered about their respective RA2 multiplayer strategies:

A: Dont play with B, his only strategy is "lots of planes" B: Yeah, because that generally avoids your "lots of tanks"

This was a protoss strategy in StarCraft that was fun as well. Except you just built them right next to their base you didn't need to build out from yours.
