DreamCatcher Interactive Announces 2001 Release of New Dune Title
In the year 10191, the Houses Atreides and Harkonnen are fighting a bloody battle for control of the sand planet Arrakis (Dune). It's only resource: Spice, giving those who possess it a very long life and greater powers

Description

In this rendition of Dune, Paul spends two years with the Fremen. He must first earn their trust, then demonstrate his courage so that they will recognize him as their Messiah, the one who will bring them true freedom and make Dune a fertile planet. During these two years, the player takes on the role of Paul. The story line revolves around him and his integration into the very heart of the Fremen tribe. Spies, intrigue and assassination attempts are everyday occurrences for Paul at this time in his life and the atmosphere is clearly felt and perfectly reproduced. To demonstrate his bravery and worth, Paul takes on many missions. He must destroy the Spice smugglers, harass the Harkonnen, sabotage factories, find hiding places for stockpiling Spice, etc. On his missions, he explores all known places on Dune and is able to perfect his fighting techniques, for both battle and knife combat. He also gets a chance to practice the powers that make him such an exceptional being.
