It took a long time for Frank Herbert's seminal 1965 sci-fi novel, Dune, to receive an adaptation worthy of its standing - several attempts to make it a film failed, and the David Lynch-led one that did arrive flopped. Finally though, the trio of Virgin, Cryo and Westwood would nail it with not one, but two classic games for the PC, Amiga and Mega CD -- this review video is the story of how they came to be. Enjoy!

Great episode Kim. Just found a surprisingly good port of Dune2 on RiscOS and lost an evening to it while watching/listening
