Why the books of course! If you don't think of the books or the games than you aren't a nerd and should be left in the middle of the dessert with no stillsuit and a single thumper to attract your death.
Exactly. The game. Dune 2000. Good times.fenrizz said:I think of Dune 2000 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_2000], the first RTS I ever played.
Good times, good times.
I would probably think of actual dunes, if English was my first language - but since it isn't, and the only context I've ever used/heard the word used in, is the game, that's my answer.
The fucking worms in the sand were annoying, but other than that, it was an awesome game.

I never heard of this game till now.
When I hear 'dune', I think of this game. Dune 2: The Building of a Dynasty. The one Westwood game that almost singlehandedly started the RTS genre in 1992. It had amazing depth, fantastic music, voice acting, even a storyline.
P.S. See the Palace selected on the screenshot? That's the Harkonnen superweapon, Death Hand. It's a nuke, but you can't target it, you only point it in a direction and determine the time before detonation. In the later levels all you needed to do was build half a dozen palaces, protect them with a row of missile turrets and enjoy the apocalypse.
