Dune 2000 is a Dune computer game, release by Westwood Studios in 1998. A Playstation version was later released in 1999 with 3D graphics. It is based in Frank Herbert's science fiction Dune universe. The story of the game is similar to Dune II, and is continued in Emperor: Battle for Dune. The game uses a simliar game engine which resembles Westwood's Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Although originally meant as a remake of Dune II, the game varies differently than Dune II, making various references to Dune II as its prequel, such as the execution of Mentat Amon of House Ordos and a new Mentat for the Harkonnen, Hayt De Vries, instead of Radnor. The story is told with full motion video starring actors such as John Rhys-Davies.
