Hah. This takes me back. Classic doesn't quite cover it.

I will say it's nice not having to click and Move on the sidebar manually each time you want to move a unit.

I do seem to remember each unit made a sound when you click them like "reporting" and when you move them "acknowledged"? Which again was incredibly repetitious but also quite characterful!

"Frigate has arrived" is permanently burned into my brain.

I've never met anyone in real life that has the same nostalgia for this game as I do, it's nice to see that HN has my back.

I completed Dune II by building OpenDune from source. It was fun to see how impossible that game would have been with the original controls!
I never played it but my flatmate did, and they're still ingrained in my brain. Especially "frigate has arrived".
