Thx @tosh for the posting this (My Itch followers suddenly jumped, so I figured something was up - nice surprise! )

Glad everyone seemed to enjoy my "small" passion project, and that it gave people a chance to reminisce about this classic game of our youth (or mine, at least! )

Thx again & take care, all

The confusion between the two Dune games that came out at nearly the same time will forever continue!

I'm stating this as s.o. with 25 years of deejay experience in various electronic genres, 20 years of various dev experience, and lots of performances.

It would help to maintain his legacy if the soundtrack was available somewhere. As it stands, the original Amiga release is not available on my usual sources. And I have multiple sources.
