Developed by Westwood Studios in 1994, Dune: The Battle for Arrakis brings pioneering real-time strategy to the Sega Genesis. You are tasked with commanding House Atreides, Harkonnen, or Ordos in a war for control of the planet’s valuable spice, balancing base construction and resource harvesting with tactical combat against rival factions and giant sandworms.
How to Play
Your objective is to harvest spice to fund your army, build up your base’s infrastructure, and ultimately destroy the enemy headquarters. Select units and navigate menus using the following controls:
| D-Pad | Arrow Keys |
| A | S |
| B | X |
| C | Z |
| Start | Enter |
| Mode | Shift |
| Menu | mouse |
Tips
- Build your structures on concrete slabs to prevent them from starting with half health.
- Keep your spice harvesters protected with military units, and watch out for rippling sand that indicates an approaching sandworm.
- Each of the three houses has access to unique late-game units, such as the Atreides Sonic Tank or the Harkonnen Devastator, so play to your faction’s specific strengths.
