What's the availability on that game anyway? Does anyone know if it runs on modern specs? I loved those old adventure games. No formula, no a-list cast, just a few ballsy programmers and a producer ready to eat the risk.

There is a longplay video of DOS version so I assume you can still run it on DosBox. Not sure about the purchase options but probably a vaporware now perhaps? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_B4WPnf-AY&t=866s

Murray Mantoinette posted:It's been mentioned in the thread before but Old Frank had some rather unpalatable ideas about homosexuals. The Baron being gay definitely seemed like it was supposed to enhance the negative or indulgent aspects of his character. Reading Dune I always got the vibe that the Baron's pedophilia and general rapiness was meant to be much more repulsive than the matter of which gender he preferred to assault

exmachina posted:Also Homosexuality is just sublimated aggression, all soldiers are gay, really. I think it's more like "all soldiers are rapine". The thing he brought up several times regarding homosexuality in soldiers was their usefulness as death commandos. We've all read that he had some issue with his gay son (at least if that's the real story and not @duneauthor trying to keep the estate to himself) but to me it seemed like his views matured somewhat in his later writings. Besides that, not a lot of people back then would even mention homosexuality in non-coded ways.

Ah, no, Frank did Dune 2. But if you don't mind a bit of French in your Dune, then Exxos' SPICE OPERA from Dune 1 certainly fits.. Somewhere, I'm sure.

Here's the link to a site where you can either download it or play it in your browser since it's such a small game. https://www.myabandonware.com/game/dune-23h It's a bit finicky with sound and saves for the browser version. I think this is true abandonware on this 28 year old game, as Virgin Interactive was bought and sold by Interplay and Titus, both of which also went out of business/bankrupt, so I think this definitely meets the criteria for Abandonware and not

THE BAR posted:Game's soundtrack works really well to have banging in your head while reading. It being based on the movie's helps, but Frank Klepacki did some outstanding AdLib work. I played dune 2 on the Amiga and it had big swelling synth chords for a soundtrack, I loved it.never been able to find a recording of it.

Really like that cover. It stylistically reminds me of the all black paperback with a little "window" that shows two figures (paul and jessica I think) walking across Arrakis.

No Pants posted:The homosexual, latent or otherwise, who maintains that condition for reasons which could be called purely psychological, tends to indulge in pain-causing behavior–seeking it for himself and inflicting it upon others.

Seems kind of sadly ironic that a masterpiece of fiction that is tied to ecology also spawns a mountain of tie in plastic garbage.

If you're going to buy funko pops you might as well use Lynch-Harkonnen decorum so you can throw your foodstuffs/plastics into inky gutters running through the rooms.

Or did he just correctly predict that ityool2020 the broad swath of society would still find pedophiles revolting RedSnapper posted:I just finished a reread of God Emperor. I remembered they mentioned lesbian Fishspeakers. Herbert presented Duncan as a sort of old school chauvanist, that doesn't mean he agreed with Duncan. Herbert was writing these books during the sexual revolution and I've yet to see anything from him on the subject that suggests he was anything less than a pretty modest and open-minded dude.
